Need help identifying SD singles

Need to go through my parts drawer more often - found a pair of SD stacked singles, but no stickers on the bottom, and the baseplates don't have the SC101 impression, so I know they're not Duncan Designed.

Physical features:
Stacked coils
rod magnets, staggered, not 1/4" in diameter
white bobbins with an oval opening (could probably slip a thin bar magnet in there) and the SD "S" logo stamped into them (like up in the corner of the page here)
4-conductor (RGBW)
slip-on/off covers with pole holes
coils wrapped in clear tape (appears factory, feels more like cellophane than Scotch tape)
black paperish/cardboard/whatever baseplate (not hard shiny plastic or circuit board) with center tab (typical Fender spec that won't fit in vintage Jackson routes).

With R+W soldered together, Green+Bare together, Black as hot, readings hover around 13.6K

No idea how long I've had these or where I got them. Definitely got them used.

Scanning the Comparison Chart, I'm not seeing anything that ticks all the boxes.


Any ideas?


Granted I've got C.R.S. (Can't Remember S***), but if it helps, I seem to recall buying a pair of Classic Stacks from someone, but I also remember selling a bunch of guitars with pickups in them. I also vaguely recall buying a pair of Fender TexMex singles, an Invader that may have gone through a magnet swap (sounds killer, whatever's in it!), found a white DC with a sticker on the bottom that says RCA4 and is wrapped in electrical tape, and somehow have a 59/CC (A2) hybrid, but only one. If I made it, WTF is the other one? :lol:

STK-1 would be a decent match for your description.

:lol: I was waiting or that one.

No clue how that's gonna help. At all. It's an oblong white bobbin with rod magnets jammed in the hole, not the typical 6 holes with a rod in each. Copper coils, one on top of the other, wrapped in cellophane tape, RGBW wires coming out of it, "S" logo stamped on the bobbin (so at least the bobbin is a Duncan), oval baseplate like you see on Fender singles. If I have to say there's no sticker on the bottom....

I'm not seeing the Classic Stack in the Comparison chart, though, and I did have one some years ago in a guitar (1B sticker). Might be OEMs from a Jackson SL-1 (highest probability).

But if porn makes you happy, it looks just like this (though the specs say Ceramic Bar?)

And my bobbin's not pinkish. It's like a milky white.

Those sound like a pair of older classic stacks (STK-S1) I sold a few years ago.
 
Re: Need help identifying SD singles

yes sounds like the old classic stacks. very cool pups although not the classic vintage strat tone
 
Re: Need help identifying SD singles

Thanks. I thought they were Classic Stacks, as I've only ever bought 3 sets of singles in my life (a Hot Stack for Strat back in the 80s, a pair of Fenders from SDUGF user deegee a couple of years ago (or more), and these, and I vaguely recall the listing saying Classic Stack, which I knew I wanted them due to the other guitar I had that came with one in the bridge).

I ended up installing the Fenders anyway (DK2). Might swap them for the Stacks, though.
