Seymour Duncan STK-S2n Hot Stack for Strat White Pickup
The STK-S2n Hot Stack is a high-output, single-coil-sized stacked humbucker engineered for neck and middle positions on Stratocasters, delivering aggressive punch without compromising the instrument’s classic appearance. In the studio or on stage, this ceramic-magnet pickup captures articulate transients and sustain, making it ideal for recording sessions that demand clarity and definition across rock, metal, and contemporary production styles.
Tone & Output Character
With a DC resistance of 13.2 kΩ and a resonant peak at 6.5 kHz, this pickup produces articulate mids and defined treble response that sits forward in a mix without muddiness. The ceramic bar magnet and 4/5/6 equalization (Bass/Mid/Treble) yield a balanced, hot-output voice that captures detail during tracking and maintains presence during layering and final mix-down.
Construction & Integration
Built with wax potting for tight, feedback-free recording sessions and solid sustain on sustained notes, the STK-S2n features a four-conductor wire that allows flexible wiring configurations for various studio setups. As a passive pickup, it requires no battery or active circuitry, making integration into existing recording signal chains straightforward and reliable for repeatable take-to-take performance.
