Seymour Duncan SA-3XL Adjustable Woody, Walnut Pickup

The SA-3XL Adjustable Woody is a refined soundhole pickup engineered for acoustic players seeking transparent amplification without compromise. Its adjustable pole pieces allow precise positioning for optimal response across different instrument geometries, while the warm walnut wood housing integrates seamlessly into any acoustic aesthetic.

Design & Construction

Built from walnut stained wood with a compact profile that fits standard soundholes spanning 3.75″ to 4.0″ (94mm to 100mm), this pickup maintains an unobtrusive on-instrument presence. The dual-coil design employs fully shielded construction and is dual potted in wax then epoxy, eliminating microphonic feedback while ensuring mechanical integrity and long-term reliability.

Tone & Performance

The hum-canceling stack configuration delivers noiseless operation with natural acoustic character preserved through the magnetic design. Paired with the included heavy-duty 14-foot studio quality cable featuring a hand-soldered 1/4″ plug and low capacitance, signal integrity remains pristine from instrument to amplifier.
