Seymour DuncanScooped Strat Pickup Black Neck
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For the neck position of an SSS Stratocaster, Seymour Duncan's black Scooped Strat pickup shapes the response around elevated highs and lows with less midrange. Its underwound 1950s-style basis and slightly taller pole height serve that scooped voice, while Alnico 5 is part of the design. It is aimed at vintage Texas-blues expression as well as clean and soft-crunch pop-rock parts, and is designed to balance with higher-mid-voiced pedals and amps.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Building an SSS Strat neck voice for vintage Texas-blues playing.
- Clean and soft-crunch pop-rock parts that benefit from reduced midrange emphasis.
- Using higher-mid-voiced pedals and amplifiers with the pickup's scooped voicing.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars that are not Stratocaster models with an SSS pickup configuration.
- Players looking for a pickup voiced to emphasize midrange frequencies.
