Description
The SH-3 Stag Mag is Seymour Duncan’s answer to players who want humbucker output but crave that vintage single-coil sparkle on tap. Instead of standard bar magnets, it uses staggered Alnico 2 rod pole pieces — the same magnet type found in classic vintage single-coils — so each coil is voiced to behave like a real single-coil unit on its own.
Run it split (tapped, using just one coil) and you get a bright, glassy tone reminiscent of a vintage Strat pickup, complete with that airy top end. Switch back to full humbucking mode and the character shifts to something rounder and richer, still carrying a lively high-end shimmer rather than going dark or compressed. That dual personality makes the Stag Mag a favorite for players bouncing between classic rock, blues, funk, jazz, and country textures without swapping guitars.
- Staggered Alnico 2 rod pole pieces for authentic single-coil-style split tone
- Full humbucking mode delivers rich, full output with bright top-end clarity
- Four-conductor hookup cable included for flexible series/split/parallel wiring
- Zebra bobbin finish
Most players load the Stag Mag into the bridge slot where its clarity and cut shine, but it holds up just as well in the neck position for players who want a warmer split tone with humbucking backup on demand.
