Seymour DuncanSSL-6 Custom Flat for Strat Pickup

For guitarists who prefer lighter strings or play guitars with flatter fretboards, the SSL-6 Custom Flat for Strat pickup's flat Alnico 5 rod magnets provide a nice even string balance, and really help to punch up the sound of light-gauge guitar strings without losing the sparkle that makes a Strat sound so unique. The SSL-6 Custom Flat for Strat is a specially overwound single-coil that strikes the perfect balance between increased output, and bouncy Stratocaster tonal character. Your single notes will sound bold, and your solos will really sing. On its own, it will give you the same balanced, beefed up, and punchy tone as the standard wound model. Use a full set of Custom Flat Strat pickups for an extra big-sounding Strat, or use a Custom Flat in the bridge position with a pair of Vintage Flats (sold separately) in the neck and middle for a more versatile setup. These bobbins are hand built with Forbon, dipped in lacquer then wound and wax potted for squeal-free performance. Seymour Duncan uses modern oval Forbon flatwork (non-triangular), which enables this medium-output Stratocaster pickup to fit into any guitar that is routed for single-coils.
