Bridge position
Designed as the bridge-position version of the Scooped Strat pickup.

Independent shopping perspective
Seymour Duncan's black Scooped Strat bridge pickup is voiced for an SSS Stratocaster with more focus at the frequency extremes and less in the middle. The design draws on underwound 1950s-style pickups, adds slightly higher pole height, and uses Alnico 5. In practice, it is meant to cover singing or more forceful vintage Texas-blues playing alongside clean pop-rock and gentle crunch, with a voice designed to balance higher-mid-forward pedals and amplifiers.
