It nails that classic Strat chime, but with a touch more clarity and bite thanks to the stacked design and reversed winding.

Frequently Asked Questions
It creates a phase shift, often resulting in a more focused and 'present' sound, with slightly reduced bass response and increased upper-midrange clarity.
While they're versatile, the brighter tone isn't ideal for ultra-high gain. They'll work, but won’t deliver the thick, saturated distortion often desired for heavier genres.
Seymour Duncan has worked hard to mitigate that, but a subtle 'lacking' of some warmth is possible. Careful EQing can usually compensate, and the clarity often outweighs this potential drawback.
