Re: Stk-s1
They're the original Classic Stack model. Basically a slightly-hotter-than-vintage Alnico 2 stack pickup. The new version, the Classic Stack Plus (STK-S4), replaced them (a redesign), but has a different voicing and is closer to the tone of an actual vintage Strat pickup. In power, they're roughly comparable to an SSL-1 or something like that. The STK-S1's are still used by Jackson quite a bit for the Soloist, Dinky, etc. from what I understand.

the old classic stack is alnico 2 and a cool, albeit not vintage sounding strat pup. more mids and less highs but still a cool tone for sure. output is comparible to a typical strat pup but the extra mids might push the amp more.
the new stk4 really does sound 95% like an old early 60's strat pup but with no hum. i have a set of the cs+ and i really like them. they are about the same volume as the ssl1 like hanuman said. the dc resistance is a little misleading cause its a stack, a 10.5k single coil with typical strat wire would be much hotter than the cs+

You can still get the old-style Stacks from the Custom Shop.
