The Seymour Duncan SSL-1 Vintage Staggered Single Coil Pickup features hand ground alnico 5 rod magnets and heavy Formvar magnet wire with a special wind pattern to produce that bright, glassy, bell tone with all of the bounce and sparkle you'd expect from the best '50s Stratocaster pickups.

This middle pickup is reverse wound, reverse polarity (RWRP) to give you hum cancelling operation in positions 2 and 4 on a Fender Stratocaster. The treble attack is crisp and immediate, while the low end remains articulate and focused, chords ring out with clear note to note separation. Use a full set for SSL-1 pickups for a truly vintage vibe or use an SSL-1 in the neck and middle with a Custom Staggered in the bridge for a more rocking setup. Since 1978 Seymour Duncan has been building all their vintage style single coil pickups the same way it was done in Fender's Golden age, starting with the right colour and thickness of Forbon flatwork, with the traditional keyed bottom plate, they hand file the flatwork and assemble with hand ground magnets with the period correct magnet stagger and then lacquer the bobbin. After winding, each pickup is wax potted to reduce unwanted squeal, and comes with waxed and tinned cloth pushback hook up wires.
