This STK-S4M is a clever solution for Strat players wanting a hum-free middle pickup. The stacked coil design maintains a familiar Strat voice, but with a cleaner, more focused tone – perfect for blues, country, or anyone wanting classic Strat sounds without the 60-cycle hum. It's a solid upgrade for guitars where hum is an issue.
