With the Seymour Duncan SSL-1 Vintage Staggered StratRWRP, the US pickup giant is launching a single-coil pickup designed to deliver classic vintage sounds from the 1950s. Hand-wound in Santa Barbara, the Tonabnehmer features Alnico V bar magnets and a moderately wound coil using Formvar wire, delivering a crisp, attack-rich tone that produces focused leads and well-defined chords with clear string separation. Thanks to staggered pole pieces, this results in a balanced output across all six strings. The Seymour Duncan SSL-1 Vintage Staggered Strat RWRP is ideal for the middle position, ensuring a noise-free mix when paired with the standard version of the SSL-1 in the neck and bridge positions.
