Seymour Duncan SSL-1 California’50’s Strat Loaded Pickguard – white. The Seymour Duncan SSL-1 California’50’s Strat Loaded Pickguard – white. The California 50’s Strat Loaded Pickguard features Seymour Duncan’s SSL-1 pickups for classic Strat tone and all pre-wired for quick and easy installation into your Strat. Application Vintage-correct true single-coil for warm instruments. Recommended for country, pop, surf, rockabilly, blues, ska and classic rock. Description Our most popular single-coil for Strat. The hand-ground Alnico 5 magnetsand moderate windings (Heavy Formvar wire) yield a bright and punchy tone with vintage output. Perfect for players who need accurate traditional single-coil tone, especially with clean and mildly distortede amp settings. Compared to the APS-1, the SSL-1 has a more focused “bell” tone with a light bass response. Comes with waxed cloth hookup cable and vintage-style “keyed” bottom plate. Guitars For warmer toned ash, alder or basswood body instruments. Works especially well with rosewood finger-boards. Audio courtesy of Seymour Duncan. About the Guitars: We used all brand new Fender American made’62 re-issue Strat with a medium-weight alder body a rosewood board and a fresh set of American Flyer 10-46 gauge strings. About the Amps: We employed the “highest common denominator” philosophy in our amp selection. For clean tones, we used a silverface Fender Super Reverb with stock 4×10 “blue frame” speakers. We kept the Bright Switch “On” throughout. For crunch tones, we used a well-worn Marshall JCM 800 50 watt master volume head through a new Marshall 1960A Celestion®-loaded 4×12 cabinet. We plugged into the High output. With both amps we close miked straight-on with SM-57s through a Soundcraft Spirit Folio Mixer. These are the amp settings. Available mods Reverse wound, reverse polarity (RW/RP) middle pickups for hum canceling in positions “2” and “4” on the five-way switch. Cable: Single Conductor cloth – DC Resistance: 6.5 k – Resonant Peak: 10 KHz – Magnet: Alnico V Rods – EQ (B/M/T): 5 / 3 / 9. Download wiring diagram here.
