Description
The Stag Mag flips the usual humbucker formula on its head. Instead of bar magnets under both coils, Seymour Duncan loads each coil with staggered Alnico 2 rod pole pieces — the same type of magnet you’d find in a vintage single-coil pickup. The result is a humbucker that actually earns its coil-split switch.
Tap it down to one coil and you get real Strat-style sparkle: bright, glassy, and articulate, because each coil is voiced to stand on its own rather than sound like half of something bigger. Push it back into full humbucking mode and the Stag Mag opens up into a rich, rounded tone with a lively top end that keeps it from ever feeling dull or dark, even at full output.
That range makes it a natural fit for players who bounce between styles in one set — classic rock crunch, jazzy cleans, funky rhythm chank, or twangy country lines all live comfortably in this pickup’s wheelhouse. It’s most commonly dropped into the bridge position for maximum split contrast, but there’s nothing stopping you from wiring it into the neck if that’s where your tone needs it.
- Alnico 2 rod magnet construction for true single-coil voicing when split
- Full, rich humbucker tone with bright top-end in standard mode
- Four-conductor hookup cable for coil-splitting, series/parallel, or phase wiring
- White cover
- Works in bridge or neck position
If you want one pickup that genuinely covers humbucker warmth and single-coil snap without compromise on either side, the Stag Mag is built for exactly that job.
