A truly unique bridge humbucker that combines a Hot Rails coil with our Vintage P90 to give you unmatched tonal variety.

Seymour Duncan

Description

In the past, if you wanted humbucker tone, P90 tone, and Strat tone, you would have needed three different guitars, but the Seymour Duncan P-Rails humbucker delivers all three in a pickup that is a drop-in replacement for any standard-sized humbucker slot. Using any 3-way (on-off-on) mini-switch, each unique hybrid humbucker can be split to give you a super fat, authentic vintage P90 or be split to the Rail coil for a classic Strat-like tone.

    Got the bridge position. Wired it with a mini 3 way on/off/on. Really makes an old epi lp jr. sound like 3 guitars. Tones are comvincingly similar to strat, p90 lp, and a humbucker sound all its own, harmonically rich combination. Versatility and very musical. The switch for 3 way tap is a must have.

  • The right choice!

    This was the first step in upgrading my Epi Dot Studio. My "guitar guy" Mark at the N Charlotte store suggested one of these. I ordered the bridge p'up and ended up putting it in the neck position. Right now it's only wired for either the humbucker or the P90. Later, when I have the other one installed I'll do the full wiring for all the options. I play mostly through a Vox AC4C1-Bl, and let me tell you, this is one versatile pickup. There is a clear difference in the two modes, each of them really nice. The humbucker pairs nicely with the Epi bridge p'up, the P90 does too. The SD as a humbucker alone is warm but not muddy, and the P90 alone has a distinct sound. This pickup breaks up nicely, a little sooner than the stock Epi Alnico Classic did, a little hotter I think. I'm really looking forward to completing the upgrade with a second SHPR-1N, installing a second coil-splitting tone knob and a three way mini-switch to make full use of the options. The guitar tech at N Charlotte, Daniel, did a great job with the installation, so thanks to him too!
