Seymour Duncan SA-3HC Hum-Canceling Woody, Black Pickup

The SA-3HC Hum-Canceling Woody mounts invisibly into any acoustic guitar's soundhole, delivering a fatter, more compressed signal without altering your instrument's appearance or requiring any modification. This noiseless magnetic pickup eliminates the 60-cycle hum that plagues standard single-coil designs while maintaining moderate output and transparent response. Instant installation and zero onboard electronics make this an elegant solution for players who need reliable amplified tone on demand.

Design & Installation

The pickup fits standard soundholes measuring 3.75″ to 4.0″ and arrives in a black stained finish that blends seamlessly with most acoustic interiors. Double-potted construction resists feedback, and the instant-mount design requires no drilling, routing, or permanent modifications—removal is just as straightforward.

Tone & Electronics

Hum-canceling circuitry eliminates unwanted noise while delivering a warmer, more compressed character compared to single-coil alternatives. The included 14-foot low-capacitance cable maintains signal clarity from soundhole to amplifier, and passive operation means no batteries or onboard preamps to manage.
