Seymour Duncan STK-S4n Stack Plus for Strat Cream Pickup
The STK-S4n Stack Plus captures articulate, responsive single-coil character without the hum that typically compromises recording sessions and live tracking. This neck position pickup combines a larger top coil for full tone and dynamic transduction with a hum-neutralizing bottom coil, delivering the clarity and definition required for tight, compressed arrangements or full-bodied strumming that cuts through a dense mix.
Recording Clarity & Noise Control
A hum-attracting flux transfer plate feeds into a small bottom coil equipped with a Helmholtz coil that cancels electromagnetic interference while preserving the open, articulate response of a true single-coil design. The result is presence and definition without the 60-cycle noise that degrades recordings and creates mixing headaches in high-gain tracking or layered production scenarios.
Construction & Tonal Stability
Hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets and wax potting ensure consistent output and reliable performance across multiple tracking sessions, while construction in Santa Barbara, CA reflects Seymour Duncan’s precision manufacturing standards. The 3-conductor lead wire is splittable, enabling series/parallel wiring configurations for adaptive tonal control within your studio setup.
