Hi guys,
I introduce myself:
my name is Max, happy user of duncan pickups for years, and other brands as well I must admit.
Apologies if this is not the right forum section for introductions.

Anyway, here is my story:
I need to have more dimensions for STK S4 CLASSIC SACK PLUS pickups.
Want to use them on a guitar but they go directly mounted to the body and need the dimesnions before I can buy.
I have contacted Duncan in several occasions but because when you contact them through the web page you cant upload files, I cant get them to understand what Im missing.
I have attached here a skecth of what Im missing.

I thought about the forum and I hope anyone can help me over here.
This is the ONLY THING stopping me to buy these pickups, I even have approval from the boss!! (my wife) :)

Thanks in advance
Max

Re: Need more dimensions for Classic Stack Plus STK S4 pickups

I have and use an STK-S4. It is a tiny bit taller than a standard single coil and that's about it. I don't feel like taking the stings off my guitar and having to put a fresh set on just to measure it but I can tell you this much: I've been using this pickup for 9 years now and I love it. It really nails the "Strat" tone while also being hum free. I really like it's vintage feel and tone in split coil mode too.

Hi SnakeAces,
Thanks for your comment. I'm in the right path then, these pickups will be great, I just need to find out this info and I will get them
I have EMGs there now, directly mounted, so I need to make sure they fit. I think 90% they will but would prefer no surprises

Fortunately, I had one unmounted. Here's your missing dimensions:

Ok I measured it...
It will be tight ������
Not very sure it will be ok...
I will think about it a bit more... I don't want to mess around routing the pickup cavity...

Thanks so much ArtieToo

Do you have a Ibanez? I had to re-route the pickup cavities in my Ibanez to be able to put any other humbucker in it that doesn't had short Allen screws.

It's an ernie ball musicman Luke 2
I really want to change the EMGs, they are alright, but I prefer my other guitars.
I do have an Ibanez which I put suhr pickups on it, the only one directly mounted to the body in that guitar is the mid pickup, but it fitted no probs.

I removed one of the EMGs single coils yesterday, they are mounted on 2 plastic studs! This means that all I have to do is find another plastic thing to make it work as a spacer to the right height and that will allow me to install the classic stack plus stk s4, I think I will buy them this week. But first, I'll go to the hardware store to see what can I find. Don't want to mess around with the stock plastic posts in case I decide to go back to the EMGs or selling the guitar later on. EMGs are good pickups, but the ssl1s in my esp vintage plus and the suhr in my Ibby are just better to my ears.

Thanks for asking SwedishHumbucker

Thanks to all

And to close this out and future reference.

Yes, the Seymour Duncan stks4 are direct replacement to the emg slv in an ernie ball musicman Luke II guitar.
It is a tight fit but it works no problems.

Thanks to all for your help.
