Description
News
The SSL-6 looks just like Seymour Duncan's SSL-2, with rod magnets of equal length which are slightly raised above the flatwork. But this one is Seymourized. The custom coil winding gives you extra output with more punch and longer sustain.

Beefed up Strat with more output and flat pole pattern.

Seymour Duncan SSL6 Custom Flat Pro Strat Single-Coil Pickup Reviews

16 People rated this product :
           9 out of 10

"Great value."
Feature:
I don't know what to say about a pickups features. It's damn good and that's enough.

Quality:
It workks well, nothing has gone wrong.

Value:
I can't see why it is so cheap. But it could be a better price, at least where I come from, Swerden. Everything is a little cheaper here than in USA, but that 's ok.

Desirability:
I really want it.

Sound:
It's great, the trebly sound is gone and the sound is more punchy and fat but it has still the Strat sound, I appreciate that. It's better for soloing than most humbuckers I 've played. You can blay both Blues and Metal with this, you will get a Blackmore kind of sound.

Ease of Use:
It's easier to get a singing tone with this a a stock pickup. Absolutely.

Support:
The best support is that you don't need any.

"Great sound -- classic quack and pop."
Feature:
Standard single coil. Great sound, but is sometime suseptable to annoying 60-cycle hum.

Quality:
Seymour Duncan pickups are very well made. Excellent quality for a reasonable price.

Value:
Again, excellent quality for the money.

Desirability:
When I play these pickups, I sense that somewhere, Rory Gallagher is smiling!

Sound:
I play many kinds of music, from rock to blues to jazz. I play a Fender Strat, and installed a ssl-6 in the bridge, a reverse-wound ssl-6 in the middle, and a vintage ssl-2 in the neck. Wow! The ssl-6's are overwound so they can really put out some classic "Strat" sound, but still clean up nicely when you back off the volume. I love the "quack" and mid-range "pop" that these pickups give you (a la Rory Gallagher). I play through a Marshall amp, and this combination of pickups really works well together. I decided to put a second ssl-6 in the middle (as opposed to another ssl-2) primarily because reverse-wound pickups have a tendency to lose some of their power, and the exra coil windings in the ssl-6 makes up for this quite well.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use. I spent some time adjusting the pickup height to get just the right sound and volume that works well when you go from one position to the other with the 5-way switch.

Support:
Haven't needed any.

Overall:
Great sound -- classic quack and pop!
