Vintage Strat Tone with Monster Output Although it packs plenty of true single-coil Strat tone, the Seymour Duncan Custom SSL-5 Staggered pickup's overwound coil pushes your amp harder than vintage pups, providing you with killer harmonics and singing sustain. This hard-rocking pickup isn't just great for dirt, though. It cleans up beautifully when you back off your volume knob. Tailor-made for Texas blues rock, classic rock, and heavy rock, the Seymour Duncan Custom SSL-5 Staggered pickup works best with heavier and brighter-toned guitars with ash or alder bodies, and sounds fantastic with both maple and rosewood fingerboards. At Sweetwater, we've used just about every pickup on the planet. Give us a call, we'll be glad to help you out!
