Description

Seymour Duncan's Hot Rails pickup is one of the highest output pickups Duncan makes, and also one of the most popular. The Hot Rails uses a pair of blades coupled with strong ceramic magnet and powerful coil windings to create a pickup that's full and fat with a ton of sustain - perfect for classic rock, but also lending itself very well to more aggressive tones such as garage rock or metal. Best of all, these humbuckers - and all their beefy tone - fits inside a single-coil-sized pickup. Add girth to your tone with the Hot Rails!

  • The pickup I didnt know I needed.
Color: Black
Ok I realize tone is pretty subjective. Ive been playing guitar for almost 30 years now, and mostly played Gibson guitars with Humbuckers. Like most guitar players, its fun to get different gear, to tone chase and try to get that sound in your head etc… In the last couple of years I have been able to pick up a couple of nice Strats, despite feeling they were for blues or classic rock for most of my adult life. I was pleasantly surprised that I liked the action and the way they played. But, I always had a tough time with the bridge pickup sound. I liked the clarity, but i feel they need more sustain and harmonics. Plus they always have that inherent high end single-coilness, which I personally do not prefer. I have routed out some less expensive guitars/pickguards and installed various other humbuckers. But I didn’t want to go that route with my more expensive strats. I play mostly 80’s rock through modern metal. I have about 17 guitars, pickups in them are stock Fender, stock Gibson, EMG’s, and about 4 guitars with some Dimarzio humbuckers. Choosing pickups nowadays can be a little daunting, manufacturers have so many different models. Youtube videos help, but sometimes its hard to tell with all of the different effects chains, amps, video processing, different types of guitars etc.. But I decided to give Seymour Duncan pickups a try. I know I’m late to the game, but I am kind if a creature of habit with a if it’s not broke, don’t fix it type of mentality. Long story long, I installed the hot rail pickup in the bridge of a guitar I liked, but now I love. Harmonic’s and sustain are much more lively, with a clarity that I really like over many of my other guitars. Shipping was fast, instillation was very easy, and since installing the hot rail, I have literally ordered a bunch of other Seymour Duncan pickups to install in my other guitars. I now have a Slash set, Yngwie Malmsteen set, 2 JB’s and a JB jr… and while I like all of these pickups for their different tones, I think the Hot Rail and the JB are my favorite for everyday use. It’s kind of funny, because I used to think that Hot Rails were kind of gimmicky, old 80’s style pickup’s etc. that couldn’t be as good as a full sized humbucker, right? Nope, I was wrong. ... show more

  • GREAT PICKUP!!
Color: Black
Sounds great! Huge sound on a single coil size. It fits perfect on my stratocaster copy. Easy installation. However, the box came damaged. I dont know if it was a transport or shipping problem but it made me question wether the product was new or used. In the end the product was new inside the box so its all good. The 4 stars is for the packaging ... show more

  • Paid for a NEW pickup, got a used one. BS!!!! Update: New one was sent immediately. Very satisfied!
Color: Black
WTF?! Not only is this a USED pickup, you can see the solder that was left from where it was removed. Not only that, two of the wires are heat wrapped together and there are chips on the magnets. BS. I'm demanding a full refund. Update: Got new one sent, no charge. Sounds incredible in my Fender Duo Sonic. Incredible tone and sustain. Side note, put a Cool Rail in the neck position which gives it a warm, wonderfully sustained tone. Switch in middle position in clean channel has an incredible bluesy sound. Highly recommend!! ... show more

  • the only one i play with now
Color: Black
well, i swore by my st blues blindsider (similar to an american strat) with the dimarzio rail in the bridge. this pickup, i put into the bridge of my MIM strat and the st blues has gotten quite a nice and well deserved rest. directions are a bit iffy but mainly due to different wiring options; and i am experienced in replacing these things. just follow the directions i think you'll be fine. theres a couple different wiring options, make sure to use the right one. my dimarzios always come with the 2 necessary wires soldered together for standard humbucker. this one didn't come that way, and i cant remember, but it wasn't the colors i am used to soldering together. anyway GET IT, (google is your friend for the wiring) you'll thank me later. UPDATE: THIS PICKUP SEEMED TO SCOOP MY MIDS ONCE I SWITCHED TO A VOX VALVETRONICS AMP AND STARTED PLAYING WITH A LIVE BAND. I COULDN'T CUT THROUGH THE MIX WITHOUT BUYING AN EQ. ADJUSTMENT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. REMOVED THIS FROM THE BRIDGE AND INSTALLED IN THE MIDDLE POSITION WHERE A LITTLE DARKER SOUND WOULD BE NICE. PUT THE DiMarzio DP218 IN THE BRIDGE. BEAUTIFUL CLEAN HIGHS ARE BACK! I DON'T SCOOP MY MIDS... EW THE HORROR... ... show more

  • Great pickup. Easy to install. Great tone.
Color: Black
Very happy with this pickup. I recently decided to change out the bridge pickup on my strat. I have one of these on my traveler guitar and I love the way this pickup makes that little guitar sound. So, when it came time for a change in my strat, I chose this. It was a very good decision. The pickup is very easy to install and the tone is great. It has now doubled the versatility of my strat because I actually use the bridge pickup now. It is a great compliment to the neck and middle pickups. 100% love it and will be upgrading my other strat with the same pickup. ... show more
