ST size
Direct-replacement single-coils, stacks, and rail-humbuckers for ST-style guitars.
The ST-style pickup is the industry standard for clarity, "quack," and high-end sparkle. This category includes everything from vintage-correct Alnico single-coils to modern high-gain designs housed in the traditional slim profile. Whether you are looking for the authentic 50s/60s chime or want to transform your guitar into a rock machine without routing the body, our selection offers a solution for every sonic requirement.
List of products
Coil Configurations and Noise Control:
True Single-Coils: The classic design for maximum transparency and dynamic "snap." We offer calibrated sets where the middle pickup is RWRP (Reverse Wound, Reverse Polarity), providing hum-canceling performance in switch positions 2 and 4.
Stacked Humbuckers: Featuring two coils stacked vertically. This design effectively cancels 60-cycle hum while preserving the narrow magnetic window and aesthetics of a traditional single-coil. Ideal for blues and rock players who need a quiet signal under gain.
Single-Coil Sized Humbuckers (Rails): These utilize two small coils side-by-side, often with blade (rail) magnets. They deliver the thick, powerful output of a full-sized humbucker, making them a favorite for bridge-position upgrades in rock and metal setups.
Technical Specs and Magnet Profiles:
Pole Piece Geometry: Choose between Staggered Poles (optimized for traditional vintage fretboard radii and plain-G string balance) or Flat Poles (better suited for modern, flatter radii and balanced output across all strings).
Magnet Types:
Alnico II/III: For a softer attack and "sweet" vintage highs.
Alnico V: The most popular choice for increased punch, tighter bass, and higher output.
Ceramic: Used primarily in high-output rail designs for maximum aggression and mid-range focus.
Wiring: While standard singles use 2-conductor wire, our stacked and rail models often feature 4-conductor wiring, enabling coil-splitting and parallel switching options.
Fitment Note:
All pickups in this category follow the standard ST-mounting dimensions. However, some high-output "rail" models or stacked designs are slightly deeper than vintage singles. Always verify your cavity depth, especially when installing into vintage-spec or shallow-routed bodies.
