Members dreamsareweird Posted February 19, 2009 Members Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'm looking for a Strat-sized humbucker that looks exactly like a singlecoil pickup. All I can find are "blade" style ones or pickups with 2 rows of adjustable poles. Is there anything that looks exactly the same as a regular Strat pickup?

Members benricci Posted February 19, 2009 Members Share Posted February 19, 2009 There are various "stacked humbuckers" on the market. Something like this maybe? http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/electric/stratocaster/progressive/classic_stack_p/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GCDEF Posted February 19, 2009 Members Share Posted February 19, 2009 Are you looking for humbucker sound, or something without noise. There are several noiseless options that look like regular pickups. Duncan has a couple that have pole pieces instead of rails, but with the exception of their active livewire, they still look a bit different.

Members HaloJem Posted February 19, 2009 Members Share Posted February 19, 2009 Well, look into the HS3 Dimarzio. Just because Steve @ Dimarzio designed it for Yngwie, people wrongly assume they will sound like him if they use it. Not true. I just installed another one in my axes - especially the neck of my '90 Ibanez RG 760. True stacked humbucker in a 'regular' single coil shape. POW!!

Members dreamsareweird Posted February 19, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'm looking for the humbucker sound, not just noise-cancelling. Singlecoils just sound thin to me and don't have all that warm mid-range fun going on theat my humbucker-equipped guitar does. For me. Plenty of other players can rock singlecoils and do it well. That Duncan STK-S4 is just a noiseless singlecoil-sound pickup. Is the Yngwie model an actual humbucker-sounding pickup? If so, then YAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
