Designed for noiseless operation with reverse wound/polarity middle pickups, these handcrafted pickups offer rich midrange, sparkling highs, and exceptional sustain. Compatible with any Strat routed guitar, they provide versatile tonal options including tapped versions for vintage and high-output sounds, making them a top choice for blues, rock, metal, and beyond. ## Description Application :High output true single-coil. Recommended for blues, classic rock, garage, heavy rock, classic metal and nu-metal. Description Similar tonality to the SSL-4 Quarter-Pound Flat but with a staggered magnet pattern. Like the SSL-4, the hand polished, quarter-inch diameter magnets are matched with a powerful coil winding to deliver great sustain. Does not use a cover. Complete setup : calibrated set available with RW/RP middle pickup. Many players use an SSL-7 in the bridge position with vintage output pickups, like SSL-1’s, in the neck and middle for tonal versatility. Guitars For any balanced Strat. Works especially well with rosewood fingerboards. Available mods : reverse wound, reverse polarity (RW/RP) middle pickups for hum canceling in positions β€œ2” and β€œ4” on the five-way switch. Tapped version for dual output levels. Players : Jon Butcher, Alex De Rosso / Dokken Review: 14.36k and it has great tone. Incredible single coil pickup - The most powerful single coil pickup I have ever owned. Exceeded my expectations. Sounds very good, honestly it has enough power to use in the bridge position in an sss guitar arrangement, and I would recommend something with less horsepower for the middle and neck pickups. Review: Sounds fantastic - Fantastic ## Features - With more than twice the power of a traditional Strat single-coil, the Quarter Pound Staggered has a fat and punchy midrange and well-defined top end that’s always ready to be cranked. The hand polished, diameter Alnico 5 rod magnets use the traditional Strat pole stagger and are matched with a powerful custom coil winding to deliver sparkly midrange harmonics, great sustain, and big, full chords. - The Quarter Pound Staggered RWRP for Stratocaster uses the same diameter Alnico 5 rod magnets and high output custom coil winding as the standard version, but is made reverse wound, reverse polarity so that, when combined with the neck or bridge pickups in positions 2 & 4, it gives you noiseless operation. On its own it will give you the same beefed up, punchy tone that you get from the standard wound model. - The neck/bridge and middle pickups are available in an optional tapped variation as well, allowing you to tap into both vintage and high output tonalities with a single set. The bobbins are hand built using a custom high-output coil wind, diameter Alnico 5 rod magnets, and are wax potted for squeal free performance. We use modern oval Forbon flatwork (non-triangular) which enables this pickup to fit into any guitar that is routed for single coils. - Handmade in Santa Barbara, California: Seymour Duncan takes pride in designing and crafting our products to create the most amazing sound possible. That starts with providing an environment that attracts and retains our great team of engineers, product designers and craftsmen, many of whom have been with the company for decades. - DCR Neck: 14.10, DCR Middle: 14.10, DCR Bridge: 14.10, Magnet: Alnico 5, PVC Lead Wire Cable ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #25,711 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #161 in Electric Guitar Pickups & Pickup Covers | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 49 Reviews | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Seymour Duncan - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Metal - **Style:** Modern - **Item Weight:** 4.96 ounces ## Images ![Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound Staggered Strat - Neck/Middle/Bridge - Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RRsYkeesL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 14.36k and it has great tone. Incredible single coil pickup *by C***Y on September 5, 2025* The most powerful single coil pickup I have ever owned. Exceeded my expectations. Sounds very good, honestly it has enough power to use in the bridge position in an sss guitar arrangement, and I would recommend something with less horsepower for the middle and neck pickups. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sounds fantastic *by R***S on December 31, 2025* Fantastic ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All the Stratocaster twang & bite, with enough power to match a humbucker! *by A***R on April 6, 2016* This is a very nice pickup. I have the same pickups in another guitar, and they sound great! They have enough output to work well when paired with a humbucker. This is one of Seymour Duncan's most popular true single coil pickups. It's been around since the company started in the late '70s to early '80s. ## Frequently Bought Together - Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound Staggered Strat Pickup - High Output Single Coil Neck/Middle/Bridge Electric Guitar Pickup - Seymour Duncan SSL-7 Quarter Pound Staggered Middle (RWRP) Strat Single Coil Pickup - Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB Bridge Humbucker Pickup for Electric Guitar Pickup - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/11590248-seymour-duncan-quarter-pound-staggered-strat-neck-middle-bridge-black](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/11590248-seymour-duncan-quarter-pound-staggered-strat-neck-middle-bridge-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
