Seymour Duncan SSL-6 Custom Flat Strat Calibrated Set Pickup

The SSL-6 Custom Flat delivers articulate, cutting single-coil character with modern punch and clarity. This calibrated three-pickup set maintains consistent output across neck, middle, and bridge positions while the middle pickup's reverse-wound, reverse-polarity design eliminates hum in standard two-pickup combinations. Built for players who demand definition without sacrificing the classic Strat voice.

Tone & Output Character

The Alnico 5 rod magnets and Forbon bobbin construction with wax-potting combine to produce a bright, articulate response with controlled sustain. Resonant peaks at 6.0 kHz (tapped) and 4.8 kHz (full) emphasize upper-midrange clarity and presence, making these pickups ideal for genres requiring definition and snap—rock, country, and fusion styles all benefit from this tonal signature.

Design & Build Quality

Modern oval Forbon flatwork eliminates the triangular bobbin geometry, reducing inductance and tightening the overall response. The calibrated set approach ensures all three pickups track together seamlessly, and the included mounting screws and wiring diagram simplify installation.
