Vintage Rails: clean & punchy, and no hum

I already have a Seymour Duncan HotRails pickup in my Strat that I'm thrilled with, so when I decided it was time to replace my stock single-coil neck pickup with a humbucker stack, I immediately decided to see what SD had to offer. I was looking for that classic ringing "quack" but without all the hum that comes with a single-coil. After checking out the audio samples on the Seymour Duncan website, I narrowed it down to either the Vintage Rails or the Duckbucker, which is wired almost the same way but with pole-pieces instead of rails. I finally decided on the Vintage Rails, as I've found rail-based pickups seem to have a consistent signal even when bending. I'm happy to say it was the perfect choice: the Vintage Rails in the neck position definitely has the clear, chiming tone I wanted, but is much more punchy and powerful than the single-coils - and without the dreaded hum. I just ordered another one to replace the middle single-coil pickup as well. Very highly recommended.

Great Sound!

I just replaced the pickups in my Ibanez SA160. While listening to the different sounds on the Duncan web site, I came across the Vintage Rails. It was love at first listen. I knew I had to have it in the neck position. After hours of listening to different pickups here?s what I ended up with: Bridge: JB Trembucker (TB-4) Middle: Duckbucker (SDBR-1) Neck: Vintage Rails (SVR-1) I was a little apprehensive about installing them, and worried about them not sounding like the on-line audio clips. I was also a bit worried about installing them myself, but Duncan?s tech-support sent me the exact wiring information I needed. The end result was absolutely the best sound I could have hoped for. The guitar has taken on a whole new character and sounds more strattie than a strat! The Vintage Rail in the neck sounds every bit as good on my ax as it does on-line. These pickups not only met my expectations, they went beyond them! There was one caveat; the Duckbucker and Vintage Rails were about a millimeter too wide to fit in the pickup cut-outs. So I had to grind off about ? a millimeter from each side of the pickups. But I blame that on Ibanez for not having standard strat cut-outs.

SVR Vintage Rails

This pickup sounds great in the bridge position of my heavily modified strat clone. Great tone and power. It was easy to install and made a big difference in the sound of my guitar.

One great pickup

Put this little bucker in a tele I was building in the neck. Matched with a Duncan Little 59 Bridge pu.4 way switch.Clear great sound on its own. Mixed with the bridge it sounds great and switching between series & parallel You can really get some Nasty overdriven growl at high gain. Completly satisfied with my combo of Duncans on this axe.Playing through a Fender Blues Junior NOS
