Ideal for ash or alder body guitars with maple or rosewood fingerboards, it delivers rich harmonics, singing sustain, and versatile tone from clean to overdriven. With minimal hum and a 2-year warranty, it’s a top choice for professional players craving authentic yet powerful Strat sounds. ## Description Although it packs plenty of true single-coil Strat tone, the Seymour Duncan Custom SSL-5 Staggered pickup's overwound coil pushes your amp harder than vintage pups, providing you with killer harmonics and singing sustain. This hard-rocking pickup isn't just great for dirt, though. It cleans up beautifully when you back off your volume knob. Tailor-made for Texas blues rock, classic rock, and heavy rock, the Seymour Duncan Custom SSL-5 Staggered pickup works best with heavier and brighter-toned guitars with ash or alder bodies, and sounds fantastic with both maple and rosewood fingerboards. At GearNuts, we've used just about every pickup on the planet. Give us a call, we'll be glad to help you out! Seymour Duncan SSL-5 Custom Staggered Pickup Features at a Glance: High-output single-coil Stratocaster pickup Delivers true single-coil Strat tone with more output Sounds best with heavier, brighter-toned ash or alder guitars Great for Texas blues rock, classic Review: Fantastic bridge single coil. - 6 years ago I bought as used Mexican Strat. The hum coming off those pickups was ridiculous regardless of gain. I got sick of it quickly and put in a competitor's set of noiseless pickups which I've enjoyed for several years. Two years ago I bought a gutted Epiphone Les Paul for 30 bucks, and put the Jazz/JB combo in it during the build and was floored at the tone quality. So much so that I swapped the Telecaster vintage set into my Tele. Floored once more... and it was dead silent. The hum was actually there, but you had to stack every overdrive I had and boost the front end of my Marshall to hear it. So that's the backstory leading up to the SSL-5. I was on the fence because I did not want the crazy hum level to come back. I took the plunge on a set of SSL-1 neck, SSL-1 middle, SSL-5 bridge. I got them installed last night and they're simply amazing. The bridge SSL-5 has a wonderful wide mid presence, thick but not syrup. And most of all, the hum is totally minimal. It is indeed there, but it's night and day better than the stock Mexican pickups from years ago. Very, very tolerable and the tones are just brilliant, clean or gain. I've got a Fuzz Factory, a Green Rhino, an OCD, a DS-1 that I have configured to provide dirt, and it sounds fantastic on all of them. I use a Soul Food at the end of the preamp stage of my board set clean with the volume dimed to slam the front end of my Marshall, and it's also just stellar. Great tones, mnimal noise. Review: Not what's pictured - This is an amazingly powerful pickup! Wow! Harmonics everywhere and super high output! Love it for rock! Way too strong for a lot of situations depending on your attack, amp settings, song choice, etc. Great for Pink Floyd Gilmour tones! Only complain is that it's not the style in the picture, it's the style with the wires coming out the sides of the pickup so the single coil cover doesn't fit down to the base which makes it look odd because the pole pieces don't stick out of the plastic as far as they should. Doesn't effect sound and isn't noticeable unless up close so I'm keeping it and using it as is. I'm going to try cutting slots into the plastic for the wires and see if that works better. You can see in the picture I attached that the wire is under the white plastic near the screw holes so the cover won't fight right without cutting the cover some. ## Features - High-output Single-coil Pickup with Alnico 5 Magnets - White ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000CF4RN4 | | Back Material Type | Alder Wood or Ash Wood | | Best Sellers Rank | #16,439 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #91 in Electric Guitar Pickups & Pickup Covers | | Body Material | Alder Wood or Ash Wood | | Body Material Type | Alder Wood or Ash Wood | | Brand | Seymour Duncan | | Brand Name | Seymour Duncan | | Color | White | | Connector Type | 2 conductors | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 262 Reviews | | Fretboard Material Type | Rosewood | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00800315002528 | | Guitar Bridge System | Fixed | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | S | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Included Components | Pickup only | | Instrument | Guitar | | Instrument Size | Small Medium Large X-Large 2X-Large | | Item Dimensions | 7.09 x 3.54 x 1.57 inches | | Item Weight | 0.1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Seymour Duncan | | Material Type | Alder Wood Ash Wood Maple Wood | | Model Name | SSL-5 | | Model Number | SSSL-5 | | Neck Material Type | Maple | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Scale Length | 25.5 inches | | String Material Type | Nickel | | Top Material Type | Alder Wood, Ash Wood, Maple Wood, Rosewood | | UPC | 800315002528 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 2-year warranty. | ## Product Details - **Back Material Type:** Alder Wood or Ash Wood - **Body Material:** Alder Wood or Ash Wood - **Brand:** Seymour Duncan - **Color:** White - **Fretboard Material Type:** Rosewood - **Guitar Pickup Configuration:** S - **Hand Orientation:** Right - **Neck Material Type:** Maple - **String Material Type:** Nickel - **Top Material Type:** Alder Wood, Ash Wood, Maple Wood, Rosewood ## Images ![Seymour Duncan Custom Staggered Strat - Neck/Middle/Bridge - White - Electric Guitar Pickup - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51PAWgUMaLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic bridge single coil. *by D***N on February 18, 2019* 6 years ago I bought as used Mexican Strat.
