# Seymour Duncan Vintage Staggered Strat SSL-1

Canonical page: https://guitarwiring.app/catalog/seymour-duncan-ssl-1-vintage-staggered

Duncan's Vintage Staggered Strat pickup uses hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets and heavy Formvar magnet wire. Official copy: bright, glassy bell tone with bounce and sparkle expected from 1950s Strat pickups; crisp immediate treble attack, articulate focused low end, clear note-to-note chord separation. Sets include a standard-wound neck, RWRP middle, and a slightly overwound bridge.
