Electric Guitar Double-coil Pickup Low-noise 9K/4.5K for ST/SQ

This double-coil pickup is designed specifically for six-string ST and SQ electric guitars, offering a practical solution for circuit modifications that reduce hum and improve tonal clarity. With ceramic magnets and a dual-blade metal magnetic column, the pickup delivers more sensitive string response and clearer timbre compared to standard single-coil units. Available in ten colours, it allows customisation to match or contrast with your guitar body. The pickup fits single-coil routings but uses dual-coil construction for lower noise output and a fuller sound profile.

Features and Construction

The pickup combines thoughtful engineering with straightforward installation, making it a reliable choice for players upgrading their ST/SQ guitar electronics. The dual-coil winding reduces interference, while the ceramic magnet assembly keeps the magnetic field consistent across all six strings.

Dual-coil Low-noise Design

The dual-coil configuration cancels external electromagnetic noise more effectively than single-coil designs, giving you a cleaner signal for recording or live performance. This makes it especially useful for high-gain applications where hum can become intrusive.

Ceramic Magnets and Dual-blade Column

Ceramic magnets provide a stable magnetic field that maintains consistent output across the fretboard. The dual-blade metal magnetic column increases response sensitivity, allowing each string to be picked up more clearly for defined note separation.

Resistance and Compatibility

With an approximate resistance of 9K for one coil and 4.5K for the other, this pickup works within standard ST/SQ electronics ranges. It is designed for the N/M/B (neck/middle/bridge) circuit transformation, giving you flexibility in your upgrade path.

Uses and Placement

This pickup is built for players who want to reduce hum without replacing their entire guitar wiring. Its single-coil size means it fits directly into standard ST/SQ pickup cavities.

Guitar Circuit Upgrade

Ideal for replacing single-coil pickups in ST or SQ guitars, this double-coil unit brings a higher output level and lower noise floor to your existing instrument. It can be wired for neck, middle, or bridge position depending on your preference.

Tonal Variation

Using two different resistance values (9K and 4.5K) gives you a broader tonal palette than a typical single-coil pickup. The brighter coil suits rhythm playing, while the higher output coil adds punch for lead work.

Customisation via Colour Choice

Ten colour options including black, white, yellow, dark blue, sky blue, green, pink, purple, and red orange let you match the pickup to your guitar finish or create a contrasting visual accent. The coloured bobbin is visible through the pickup cavity for a personalised look.

Benefits and Buying Value

For guitarists seeking a cost-effective way to improve their instrument's electronics, this pickup combines practical noise reduction with straightforward fitting. It offers measurable performance upgrades without requiring extensive rewiring.

Noise Reduction for Cleaner Sound

The dual-coil construction cuts 60-cycle hum and other interference common in single-coil pickups. This makes it easier to achieve a clean recording or a quiet stage setup without additional noise gates.

Easy Fit for ST/SQ Guitars

Because it uses a single-coil format, no routing or body modification is needed. The plastic wire clamp keeps wiring tidy during installation, reducing the risk of loose connections over time.

Versatile Colour Options

The wide colour range means you can keep a stock look or personalise your guitar without buying a custom pickup. Each unit includes a single pickup, so you can order multiple units to replace all positions if desired.
