Description
Think of this as the Quarter Pound with an extra gear. Seymour Duncan took their beefy, true single-coil design and gave it a tap, so you get two distinct output levels from one pickup instead of being locked into just the high-gain voice.
- Staggered magnet pattern for balanced string-to-string response, closer to a vintage feel than the flat-pole SSL-4
- Hand-polished quarter-inch diameter magnets paired with a heavily wound coil for serious sustain and push
- Tonally in the same family as the SSL-4 Quarter-Pound Flat, but with that staggered pole layout changing the way it tracks across the strings
- No cover, exposed coil for that raw, unadorned look
Because it’s tapped, this pickup covers more ground than a standard single-coil — dial back for cleaner, more articulate blues and classic rock textures, or switch over to the full-output tap when you need to push into garage, heavy rock, classic metal, or nu-metal territory. It’s essentially two pickup personalities living under one bobbin, without sacrificing the sustain and punch that made the original Quarter Pound a go-to for high-output single-coil tone.
A solid pick if you want vintage-flavored staggered pole feel but still need the horsepower for heavier styles — and a genuinely handy stocking stuffer for the pickup swapper in your life.
