Seymour Duncan STK-S4m Stack Plus for Strat White Pickup
The Seymour Duncan STK-S4m Stack Plus delivers articulate, chimey single-coil character with reduced noise—essential for home studios and recording rigs where hum rejection protects track clarity. This middle-position pickup balances brightness and clarity, capturing classic Strat tone while maintaining the transparency needed for layered arrangements and detailed mixing.
Recording & Sonic Character
Built with Alnico V rod magnets and a DC resistance of 9.62 kΩ, this pickup achieves a resonant peak at 5.7 KHz—placing emphasis in the articulate upper-mid range that cuts through dense mixes. The EQ curve of 5/4/8 (Bass/Mid/Treble) leans toward treble presence while maintaining controlled lows, producing a crisp, well-defined tone that sits naturally in a mix without requiring heavy EQ correction during production.
Build Quality & Session Reliability
Hand-made in Santa Barbara, California, the STK-S4m employs wax potting to eliminate squeal and microphonic feedback—critical for noise-free recording sessions. The 3-conductor shielded cable is splittable, offering flexibility for coil-tap or series/parallel wiring modifications to adapt your tone across different production contexts.
