This STK-1N is a clever little pickup – a stacked humbucker disguised as a vintage Strat neck pickup. It’s perfect for players wanting that classic glassy tone and hum-free operation in guitars where a full-sized humbucker just won't fit. It's a solid upgrade for Strat or Tele players seeking a warmer, quieter neck tone without drastically changing the guitar's look.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's warmer and rounder than a typical Strat neck pickup, lacking some of the inherent ice-pick brightness, but retaining a similar overall character.
Yes, it's designed for that, but the lower output means you might need to tweak your amp settings to even out the volume balance between the neck and bridge.
The coil split produces a surprisingly usable single-coil tone – a bit quieter than a true single-coil, but still retaining a decent amount of clarity and chime.
