The Seymour Duncan SSL-2 Vintage Flat Stratocaster single-coil set is designed to offer the classic chime and sparkle of vintage Strat pickups while addressing modern needs. These pickups feature flat Alnico 5 rod magnets, providing a more even string balance for guitars with a larger neck radius and for players using lighter gauge strings. This design adjustment also results in a slightly smoother tone with less edge compared to the Vintage Staggered Strat model.

Seymour Duncan SSL-2 Vintage Flat Stratocaster Single-Coil Set Features

  • Flat Alnico 5 Rod Magnets: Ensure a balanced output across all strings, particularly suited for guitars with a modern, flatter fretboard radius and lighter strings.
  • Vintage Tone: Delivers the traditional Stratocaster sound with clear highs, articulate mids, and a defined low end.
  • Reverse Wound, Reverse Polarity (RWRP) Middle Pickup: Provides hum-canceling operation in positions 2 and 4, producing the classic "quack" sound.
  • Handcrafted Construction: Made with the same materials and techniques used in Fender's golden era, including the proper color and thickness of Forbon flatwork and hand-filed, lacquered bobbins.
