Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Stacked-coil bridge pickup in Strat single-coil format, black. For Strat players who want single-coil character without the hum.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Strat players recording near computer screens and noisy lighting
- Stage use where single-coil hum cuts through between songs
- Keeping stock Strat looks with an all-black pickguard
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want true humbucker output and thickness
- Anyone who considers a bit of hum part of the tone
- Guitars with humbucker bridge routs
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
Bridge position
Wound for the brighter, tighter bridge slot. Neck use will sound thin compared to a neck-specific pickup.
Detail 03
HS configuration
Fits guitars laid out with humbucker and single-coil positions. This is the single-coil-sized part of that pairing.
Detail 04
Black cover
Matches black pickguards and hardware. Cosmetic — no effect on tone.
Detail 05
Single-coil rout
Drops into a standard Strat bridge slot. No body routing, no pickguard swap.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Pickup only — no pickguard, pots, switch, or mounting screws included
- 02Soldering required; stacked pickups often use more leads than a standard single-coil
- 03Set height carefully — stacked designs can sound weak if mounted too low
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this actually eliminate 60-cycle hum?
Yes. The stacked two-coil design cancels hum the same way a humbucker does, while keeping the physical size and general voice of a single-coil.
02Will it sound like a humbucker?
No. It's built to keep single-coil character. Output and thickness stay closer to a traditional single-coil than to a full-size humbucker.
03Can I mix this with my existing Strat pickups?
Yes, though hum cancellation only applies to this position. Positions using your other single-coils will still hum on their own.
04Is installation harder than a normal single-coil?
Slightly. Stacked pickups can have extra conductors depending on wiring options, so check the wiring diagram before soldering anything.
