SSL-7 Quarter Pound Staggered Stratocaster Electric Guitar Pickup
Summary
Quarter inch rod magnets give this pickup extra output and punch, while the staggered pole pattern delivers an edgier tone with gritty midrange.
Description
With more than twice the power of a traditional Strat single-coil, the Quarter Pound Staggered has a fat and punchy midrange and well defined top end thats always ready to be cranked. The hand polished, diameter alnico 5 rod magnets use the traditional Strat pole stagger, and are matched with a powerful custom coil winding to deliver sparkly midrange harmonics, great sustain, and big, full chords. Use a set of three for a huge sounding Strat setup, or for added versatility, use an SSL-7 bridge with a pair of SSL-5s in the neck and middle.The bobbins are hand built using a custom high-output coil wind, diameter alnico 5 rod magnets, and are wax potted for squeal free performance. We use modern oval Forbon flatwork (non-triangular) which enables this pickup to fit into any guitar that is routed for single coils.
