Seymour Duncan SSL-1 Vintage Staggared (Strat) Pickup
AR-SSL-1
Seymour Duncan SSL-1 Vintage Staggared (Strat) Pickup - SSL-1 An exact replica of the original Alnico V Stratocaster® pickups. The same type of magnet wire is used, as well as the same number of coil windings. The staggered rod magnets are hand-ground, then aged by the exclusive Dun-Aged™ process, lacquered bobbins and cloth-braid hookup wire complete the vintage look. Every detail is included to duplicate the bell-like tone and the high-end bite that made the vintage Strat® famous.

Vintage-correct true single-coil for warm instruments. Recommended for country, pop, surf, rockabilly, blues, ska and classic rock. |
| description |
Our most popular single-coil for Strat®. The hand-ground Alnico 5 magnets and moderate windings (Heavy Formvar® wire) yield a bright and punchy tone with vintage output. Perfect for players who need accurate traditional single-coil tone, especially with c lean and mildly distorted amp settings. Compared to the APS-1, the SSL-1 has a more focused “bell” tone with a tighter bass response. Comes with waxed cloth hookup cable and vintage-style “keyed” bottom plate. |
