When your guitar has a Seymour Duncan STK-S2 Hot single-coil pickup, the powerful ceramic bar magnet surrounded by two stacked coils sends more current into your amp, so you get more midrange and a stronger attack than a standard pickup can deliver. The overwound Hot single coil uses a blade instead of rod magnets to provide even string balance, no drop-outs when bending and a beefed-up tone without any of the traditional single-coil hum.
