Seymour Duncan Humbucker SSL-4 Quarter Pound Tapped Flat For Strat Pickup

Seymour Duncan Humbucker SSL-4 Quarter Pound Tapped Flat For Strat Pickup

The SSL-4 Quarter Pound delivers a punchy, articulate single-coil voice in a humbucking format, engineered for players who demand clarity and snap without sacrificing output. This tapped design adds versatility, allowing you to dial in vintage character or crank up aggression from a single pickup. Built for Strat routing, it integrates seamlessly into standard three-single-coil configurations while offering the noise rejection and structural integrity of a true humbucker.

Tone & Output Character

The Quarter Pound construction boosts midrange presence and treble articulation, cutting through a mix with definition that rivals true single coils while maintaining the hum-canceling properties of a humbucker design. The tapped configuration provides two operating modes—full output for drive and saturation, or reduced output for cleaner, more touch-responsive playing.

Construction & Compatibility

Designed with flat pole pieces and optimized for Strat body routing, this pickup installs into standard single-coil cavities without modification. The humbucker architecture ensures consistent performance and durability in a compact form factor purpose-built for stratocaster electronics.
