Stack Plus vs true single coil

Re: Stack Plus vs true single coil

Would you describe the STK 4’s a late 50’s tone as well?

Yeah, but there is slightly more power and body in the note, which is why I love it so much.

Re: Stack Plus vs true single coil

The Stack Plus is my favorite Strat pickup, period. It has slightly more power and rounder high end than an SSL-1, but not as much as the APS. But it is a beautiful Strat tone. I see no reason to go back to traditional single coils.

I totally agree with this. I have a mid-heavy superstrat. My DMZ areas were too dull sounding there, with their A2 magnets. replaced with STK-S4s, and I couldn't be happier.
