The Seymour Duncan Scooped Strat pickups were designed for players that wanted to cover everything from singing and screaming vintage Texas blues to the soft crunch and clean, high tones of pop rock. To cover that kind of range, these pickups were voiced to accentuate the high and low frequencies while scaling back on the mids. Each pickup is based off a set of underwound ’50s style pickups with slightly higher pole height that provided the scooped midrange. These Alnico 5 loaded pickups will create incredible balance with pedals and amps that are voiced with higher mids.
