Seymour Duncan SA-3SC Single Coil Woody, Walnut Pickup

The SA-3SC Woody is a warm, woody-voiced soundhole pickup engineered to capture the natural resonance of steel-string acoustics with minimal feedback. Its compact walnut housing sits discreetly in the soundhole, making it ideal for players who want amplified acoustic tone without aesthetic compromise or the bulk of larger pickup systems.

Design & Construction

Built with double potted construction, this passive magnetic pickup resists feedback and handles both rehearsal and stage volumes reliably. The walnut stained wood housing blends seamlessly with acoustic instruments while the single coil design delivers articulate, transparent signal directly from the guitar's natural vibration.

Installation & Compatibility

The pickup fits soundholes ranging from 3.75″ to 4.0″ (94–100mm), covering the vast majority of steel-string acoustics. Installation is straightforward—the package includes mounting screws, springs, and wiring diagrams—and the included 14-foot studio-quality, low-capacitance cable connects directly to your amp or interface without tone loss over distance.
