Customer reviews about Seymour Duncan STKT-1N CHR

BI

Clarity, warmth and power

Benjamin I. 27.02.2022

There are enough comparison videos to be sure the tone will be greater than the standard pickup on Squiers and similar affordable Teles. What doesn't show in the videos is the ease of mounting, screws are compatible without any adjustment needed or any inconvenience. Soldering is shown clearly in the provided sheet and the wires are long, no problem reaching the pots and selectors when they are reversed, which I did on my Affinity.

It's powerful and warm, not noisy at all except for a very low volume hum that might be caused by the cheap pots on the Tele. Distortions bring out lots of beautiful sparks, and the tone is always full from the lowest to the highest notes. Less powerful than the stacked Duncan bridge pickup I also put on the Tele but the difference is normal. Perfectly recommended, especially paired with the matched Duncan bridge pickup.

Smooth and clear - good choice - but quality issue

PE Toulouse 03.07.2020

Installation in a Squier Affinity Tele. The sound is great: creamy with enough high frequencies. Good for rhythm and sweet solo. Good output. Reminds a bit of Stratocaster sound.
Quality issue: one of the two holes of the pickup was too large for the thin screw (it fell through). I needed to take the thicker screw of the old pickup. Also, the rubber hose segments delivered with the pickup were too short, so I needed to take the old springs. If Seymour Duncan want to be a premium brand, this should not happen.

A very warm neck pickup

Anonymous 21.02.2015

I got this pickup to put into an 85 Tokai T model. It is an Ash body with maple neck and fingerboard. This pickup has a beautiful warm mellow tone that I love in a telecaster. At times it can almost sound like a jazz guitar or even an acoustic!! It balances very well with the bridge model meaning you can go from full on twang to mellow jazz at the flick of a switch. Some people might find it a little too warm but I think the contrast with a bright bridge pickup makes for a more versatile guitar.

It is totally noiseless (in practical terms) and yet still manages to sound just like a telecaster at all times. It takes gain much better than regular singles but never loses the tele character that's so important. I use this with 500k pots as it is technically a humbucker so remember that if you're planning on getting one. Overall a very versatile professional sounding pickup and great value compared to some of the boutique options out there. I have tried many of the more expensive models and this is still my favourite

Easy to install, nice sound

Jimifeed2 23.01.2018

I didnt mount it on a Tele, but on a lapsteel. The original chinese pick up was quite noisy and weak. I installed it myself, the instructions were very clear and easy to follow: despite being the first time to change a pick-up myself, it took around 20 minutes (a professional would do it in half of the time...).
The sound is what expected: noiseless, and with good definition, but at the same time full, especially with moderate distortion it makes the difference. Quite happy about it!
Up to now, no cons

Worth the buck

Riffman 11.03.2019

Yeah, you are paying a premium price perhaps, but this thing does the trick! Clear, warm and full sound with no compromise!

It may get a bit quieter if you have other aggressive and hot pickups on your instrument, but that is barely noticeable.

I could hear the vintage sound in it!

Gibbonbo 03.02.2018

It kills the noise and the sound too for me.
I had it 15 minutes in my guitar then I put the Twang king back and tries to live with the noise. :-)
