Seymour Duncan SSL6 CUSTOM FLAT FOR STRAT

SSL6 Custom Flat for Strat

11202-08 The single-coil Custom Flat Strat is our classic overwound medium-output Stratocaster pickup, with a flat magnet pattern for beefing up guitars with lighter strings and flatter fretboards. For guitarists who prefer lighter strings or play guitars with flatter fretboards, the flat Alnico 5 rod magnets provide a nice even string balance, and really help to punch up the sound of light-gauge guitar strings without losing the sparkle that makes a Strat sound so unique. The Custom Flat for Strat is a specially overwound single-coil that strikes the perfect balance between increased output, and bouncy Stratocaster tonal character. Your single notes will sound bold, and your solos will really sing. The middle position Custom Flat RWRP for Stratocaster uses the same flat hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets and special high-output coil winding as the standard version, but is made reverse wound/reverse polarity to provide noiseless operation when combined with the neck or bridge pickups in positions 2 and 4. On its own, it will give you the same balanced, beefed up, and punchy tone as the standard wound model. Use a full set of Custom Flat Strat pickups for an extra big-sounding Strat, or use a Custom Flat in the bridge position with a pair of Vintage Flats in the neck and middle for a more versatile setup. These bobbins are hand built with Forbon, dipped in lacquer then wound and wax potted for squeal-free performance. We use modern oval Forbon flatwork (non-triangular), which enables this medium-output Stratocaster pickup to fit into any guitar that is routed for single-coils.
