Product Description

SHR-1 Hot Rails are one of the highest output pickups Seymour Duncan makes. It's a humbucker tha fits into a normal single coil slot, so you get the noise canceling effect without cutting a large hole in your guitar. The 2 thin blades with powerful coil windings give you the incredible sustain and a fat, full sound that's needed for playing heavier rock music. This pickup responds to the subtlest finger movements. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Seymour Duncan products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (67 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. Seymour Duncan Hot Rails Customer Review
Sound: Nice warm neck humbucker bridge sound. Just what I was looking for. I was playing a lot of clean type music when I purchased my Strat, but got into more aggressive music as time went by. This pickup is a prefect drop in replacement to get you start to sound more agressive. I did the bridge pickup already. This purchase was for the neck position. Feature: Comes with all you need, well execpt you need to have soder, and know how to replace this or have a Tech do it for you. Ease of Use: Its a pickup. Once its installed you are set. Quality: Perfect! well made. Value: Sure beats buying a new guitar for a good humbucker sound! Manufacturer Support: Love all their products The Wow Factor: Looks fantastic in the Strat!
Style of Music: Rokc, Hard Rock, Alt

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Very worthwhile Strat upgrade"
Sound: I replaced the Tex-Mex bridge single-coil in my lefty 60th Anniversary mexican strat with this guy. I also had the volume pot replaced with a 500k potentiometer, in lieu of the 250k pot that comes standard on strats. This is important, as the new humbucker won't sound right otherwise. Really great sound, and the volume bump that people have complained about is relative to what other pickups you have in the guitar, so with me it was hardly noticeable as the Tex Mex pickups are pretty darn hot themselves. Great sound, no hum, sounds really rich and full. Thick as a Les Paul? No. A strat with a Hot Rails sounds different than a Les Paul, as it should. Different animal. I Feature: Mine's white, and blends well with the other pickups on the strat. It also features awesome sound... Ease of Use: No fuss, no muss; once I got it back from the tech after having it installed, it sounded awesome straight away. It's made me play my strat a lot more now, prompting me to order a Wilkinson VS100 to replace the crap-tastic stock bridge on standard Fenders. Quality: I think Seymour Duncan is a great company, and I expect years and years of faithful service from this pickup... Value: These still sell for what they did over twenty years ago when they came out on the market, which shows remarkable value... Manufacturer Support: Ambivalent about this one, as I've never had the occasion to reach them for anything... The Wow Factor: This took a great-sounding guitar to a whole new level. Great tone, great sustain, great harmonics, dead-silent. Overall: Love it.
Style of Music: rock

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
