Seymour Duncan AS-1n Blackouts Hot Strat Black Pickup

The AS-1n Blackouts delivers aggressive, high-output single-coil tone with modern active electronics in a format that drops directly into any standard Strat pickup cavity. This is a no-compromise neck or middle position pickup engineered for players who want clarity and punch without rewiring their entire guitar. Installation is straightforward with a complete wiring package included—no extensive modifications necessary.

Tone & Electronics

Built around an AlNiCo V magnet with a 4.80 kHz resonant peak, this pickup produces articulate highs and defined midrange attack. The active output design eliminates the passive inductance limitations of traditional single coils, yielding consistent signal strength and reduced noise across the frequency spectrum.

Installation & Versatility

A dual-pin configuration on the underside allows instant switching between moderate and high-gain output modes without soldering required. The complete wiring kit includes 25k pots, tone capacitor, stereo jack, battery clip, and all necessary mounting hardware for a drop-in replacement installation.
