Seymour DuncanSTK-S2 Hot Single-Coil Pickup White Neck
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A hot stacked single-coil for the neck position, sized to drop into a standard single-coil route. For players chasing a quieter neck pickup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a noisy stock neck single-coil in a Strat-style guitar
- Stage or studio use where 60-cycle hum is a problem
- Recording near computer screens and dimmer-lit rooms
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars routed for humbuckers without an adapter ring
- Bridge-position swaps — this one is wound for the neck
- Players unwilling to solder or pay for install
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Neck position
Wound for the neck slot, where string movement is widest. In the bridge it will sound thin and quiet by comparison.
Detail 03
Hot
Higher output than a vintage-style single-coil. Pushes an amp harder and evens out the gap to a humbucker.
Detail 04
White
Standard single-coil cover color. Match it to your other pickups and pickguard or the set will look mismatched.
Detail 05
$115
Priced above a basic replacement single-coil. The hum cancelling is what you are paying the difference for.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Standard single-coil route and mounting screw spacing — measure before ordering
- 02Soldering needed at the pot, switch and ground
- 03One pickup, not a set. Middle and bridge stay as they are
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will it match my other pickups?
Output is hotter than a vintage-style single-coil, so the neck may sit louder than your middle and bridge. Pickup height adjustment evens this out.
02Does it really cancel hum?
The stacked design is built to cancel hum in a single-coil-sized package, which is the main reason to choose it over a standard replacement.
03Can I use it in the bridge?
It will fit a bridge single-coil route, but it is wound for the neck and will sound weaker and thinner there than a bridge-specific pickup.
04Do I need new pots?
Not necessarily. If your existing wiring is healthy the pickup can go straight in, but many players replace worn pots during the same job.
