Seymour Duncan SSL-5 Custom Staggered for Strat

Description

11202-05 The ultimate overwound, medium output Stratocaster pickup, this is the single coil in the bridge position of the David Gilmour Signature Fender Stratocaster. David Gilmour needed a powerhouse tone for his famous Black Strat, so Seymour wound what became the Custom Staggered medium output Stratocaster pickup. It was and continues to be an honor to work with such a legend. The Custom Staggered is a special overwound single coil that strikes a great balance between increased output and classic Stratocaster tonal character. It will provide bigger, fatter chords, and cut through the mix more clearly than a traditional Strat pickup, all while retaining the sparkle and chime that makes a Strat sound like a Strat. Single notes are bold and strong and solos really sing. Use in the bridge position with a pair of Vintage Staggered pickups in the neck and middle for the Gilmour approved setup. Use an RWRP Custom Staggered in the middle for a hum-cancelling setup in positions 2 & 4. The Custom Staggered Strat pickup is also available in a 7-string version. The coils are constructed with hand ground alnico 5 rod magnets, lacquered and wound, and are wax potted for squeal free performance. We use modern Forbon oval flatwork (not triangular) that allow this pickup to fit in any guitar routed for single coils.
