Product Description
*please note that the product image is for illustration purposes only*
The Lollar sB Strat Neck Pickup in Matte Black / Gold is a blade-style single coil voiced to bring humbucker-like warmth and sustain to a Strat-style guitar, without losing clarity or definition. Built from one coil of Lollar’s acclaimed dB humbucker, it drops straight into a traditional single coil route and delivers a thicker, more vocal tone that feels closer to a smooth PAF than a typical bright, glassy Strat sound.
If you love the feel and ergonomics of a Strat but want a fuller, more powerful neck sound that still cleans up beautifully, the sB Strat Neck is designed for you. It enhances sustain and note bloom, emphasising a strong lower midrange while keeping the top end articulate and controlled. Use it on its own for syrupy leads and soulful cleans, or pair it with other sB Strat pickups and a dB humbucker in the bridge for a cohesive SSH setup that balances output and character across all positions.
Humbucker-Inspired Voice in a Strat Format
The sB Strat Neck takes one side of Lollar’s dB humbucker and reshapes it into a traditional single coil footprint, giving you a vocal, lower-mid focused tone that feels much closer to a smooth PAF than a scooped, spiky Strat pickup. You get a thicker, more substantial sound that suits blues, rock and modern styles, while still sitting comfortably in a mix.
Improved Sustain and Note Bloom
Designed for a stronger fundamental and enhanced dynamics, the sB Strat Neck offers a noticeable increase in sustain and a more expressive bloom on each note. This makes bends feel more rewarding, chords ring longer, and clean passages sound more three-dimensional, ideal for players who rely on touch sensitivity and nuance.
Blade Design with Outstanding Clarity
Using a blade pole piece rather than individual magnets, the sB Strat Neck maintains consistent output and tone across all strings, even with aggressive bending or non-standard string spacing. Despite its thicker voice, it retains the clarity and definition Lollar’s blade single coils are known for, so complex chords and fast runs stay articulate rather than muddy.
Drop-In Replacement with Versatile Pairing Options
The sB Strat Neck is built to fit a standard Strat-style single coil route, making it an easy upgrade with no special routing required. It can be used as part of a full three-piece sB Strat set, combined with an sB middle and bridge, or paired with a Lollar dB humbucker in the bridge for a powerful SSH configuration that shares a common tonal DNA.
Features
- One Coil of the Lollar dB Humbucker - Built from a single coil of the renowned dB humbucker, the sB Strat Neck delivers a smooth, PAF-like character with a strong lower midrange. This gives your Strat a more muscular, vocal neck tone that still feels familiar under the fingers.
- Thicker Voice with Excellent Definition - Voiced to be fuller and less scooped than a typical Strat pickup, the sB Strat Neck adds body and warmth without sacrificing clarity. Chords remain open and detailed, while single notes cut through with a focused, singing quality.
- Blade Pole Piece for Even String Response - The continuous blade design ensures consistent output across all strings, even during wide bends or with varied string spacing. This results in a balanced response and reliable performance in any playing situation.
- Strat-Style Drop-In with 500k Optimisation - Designed to fit a standard Strat neck pickup route, the sB Strat Neck is a straightforward retrofit. It is optimised for use with 500k potentiometers and a 0.047μF capacitor, helping you dial in a clear, articulate top end to complement its thicker midrange voice.
