[Seymour Duncan SSL-1 WH]
Seymour Duncan SSL-1 - vintage Stratocaster
pickup. Color: white / 1 pcs
Single-coil pickup for Stratocaster electric guitar that is
built exactly like in the old days for all the chime and bell tone enjoyed by
Stratocaster players in the 50s. It uses hand ground alnico 5 rod magnets and
heavy Formvar magnet wire with a special wind pattern to produce that bright,
glassy, bell tone with all of the bounce and sparkle expected from the best 50s
Strat pickups. The treble attack is crisp and immediate, while the low end
remains articulate and focused. Chords ring out with clear note to note
separation. This pickup can be used in the neck or middle position with the
Seymour Duncan Custom Staggered pickup in the bridge position for a more
rocking setup.
Since 1978, Seymour Duncan has been building all of their
vintage Fender style single coil pickups just as it was done in Fenders Golden
age, starting with the right colour and thickness of Forbon flatwork, with the
traditional keyed bottom plate. Then they hand file the flatwork, assemble with
hand ground magnets, and lacquer the bobbin. After winding, each pickup is wax
potted to reduce unwanted squeal, and comes with waxed and tinned cloth
pushback hook-up wires and traditional keyed bottom plate.
