Pickups : Duncan : Duckbucker : for strats : bridge : white

The Duckbucker is a single-coil sized humbucker designed to be wired in parallel to give you a vintage, sparkly, single-coil tone without any hum. Its unique, split-pole pattern, with three pole pieces on each coil, also contributes to the single-coil bounciness and snappy low end.

In the bridge position, the Duckbucker is bright and spanky. Chords have a crisp, shimmery quality with chimey high end. The 4-conductor lead wire gives you access to series wiring (using a push/pull switch or mini-toggle) for a hotter humbucker tone.

Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA, the Duckbucker for Strat uses a ceramic bar magnet, comes with a 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and is wax potted for squeal-free operation.
