Product studySeymour Duncan STK-T3 Vintage Lead Stack Pickup Black Bridge

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Keeping Tele bridge twang while killing 60-cycle hum
  • Studio work where single-coil buzz ruins takes

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone wanting a thicker, hotter humbucker voice
  • Neck-position replacements
  • Guitars with non-standard bridge plate cutouts

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 01

Stacked coils

Two coils stacked vertically cancel hum while preserving the narrow aperture that gives a single coil its clarity.

Detail 02

Tele bridge footprint

Fits the standard bridge plate opening. No routing, no plate swap on a stock guitar.

Detail 03

Bridge position

Positioned where string movement is smallest, so it delivers the tight, cutting attack Teles are known for.

Detail 04

Vintage-lead voicing

Aimed at classic lead tones rather than modern high output. Pairs with an amp doing the heavy lifting.

Detail 05

Black finish

Reads dark under a chrome bridge plate; visually different from a stock exposed-pole vintage pickup.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Pickup only. Bridge plate, pots, wire, and hardware not included.
  2. 02Requires soldering into your control cavity, or a tech to do it.
  3. 03Measure your bridge plate opening against the standard Tele cutout first.

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does it keep the Tele twang?

That's the design goal. The stacked format preserves single-coil clarity and bite rather than converting the bridge to a humbucker voice.

02How is this different from the Little '59?

The Little '59 is a humbucker that thickens the bridge tone. This one stays in single-coil territory and removes hum instead of changing the voice.

03Will it drop into a stock Tele bridge plate?

Yes, it's made to the standard Tele bridge pickup size. Verify your plate if the guitar has aftermarket or vintage-spec hardware.

04Is it hotter than a stock pickup?

It's voiced for vintage-style lead work, not modern high output. If you want more push, a hotter pickup or a humbucker would suit better.
