opinions wanted if you've installed these duncan pickups including stk-s6

Hello,

I'm looking at 3 new pups for my strat.

Neck: stk-s7
Middle: stk-s4m
bridge: stk-s6

I need to eliminate the hum so I chose stacked humbuckers.
I want a hotter dirty sound but still keep a clean strat sound.
I do not want a humbucker sound on my strat.

I'm looking for input from people who are actually using these pickups.
Do you like them?
Pros and cons
Are they sound as they were described?

Thanks for your help.

There were lots of reviews back when these pickups first came out. By all accounts they are the finest noiseless Strat pickups available. I have a STKs_4 Middle and neck, but need a STKs6 hotter bridge.
Congratulations, I think you've nailed the exact set you need for what you are wanting .

Thanks.
I hope so.

I went with this:

Neck: STK-S4n
Middle: STK-S4n
Bridge: STK-S6

I was mostly interested in shimmery cleans from the neck and middle pickups and power from the bridge and, as a set, this has been just about perfect.

Since you say you are looking for a hotter dirty sound (especially in the neck pickup), it sounds like the STK-S7 is beefier than the STK-S4 and might be the route to go.
