News
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.

Seymour Duncan SHR1 Hot Rails Humbucker Pickup Reviews

"I love it, i love it, i love it!"
Feature:
There are really no accesories or features of this pickup, except for the fact that this pickup kicks @$$!

Quality:
Well, it fit perfectly in the opening already in my pickguard. I would've just gotten a regular humbucker, but imad my own pickguard out of diamond-plated aluminum, and i didn't want 2 screw it up. I have owned for about 6 months now, and when go 'on the road', i don't use anything bu the guiar with this pickup in it. I love it! It seems as though it will last a really long time (if not forever!).

Value:
Definately worth the money!

Desirability:
I really like he way it looks. I have the traditonal white pickup covers on my other two single coils, but i decided to go with the black one, to give it a custom look, and it looks great!

Sound:
It's got a nice, full tone, but if you roll back the bass, you can get a good shredding, vai-esque tone. The sound is great! It's exactly what i needed to shred like crazy, but still be able to play twangy stuff w/ my strat. I use a lot of gain and compression when i play, and w/ my single coils, i gt nasty feedback. With this pickup, its just like a humbucker, only hotter than the rest of the 'buckers i own. just run it through a PODxt (line6), and straight into my computer for recording, and straight into a marshall stack when i play live. It sounds wonderful in both scenarios. I reccomend it to anyone who is fed up w/ single coils not being 'saturated' enough.

Support:
I haven't had to deal w/ the company yet, but i guess that's a good thing

Overall:
As of now, i won't play through any other pickup, i like this one so much! I don't think it will wear out (any time soon), but if it does, i guss that means i'll have to get another one. If someone stole this, i would definately buy the same thing again!

"Great tone with screaming harmonics"
Quality:
It will last forever. There was a previous post on a different website that this pickup was getting caught with thier strings. So I read and found out he put it in the neck position, Bad Idea, This is a bridge pickup. You can probably find a way to put it in the neck position but it will sound like crap. put it in the bridge!

Value:
Great value, technically it's a humbucker, so ill pay anything to get a humbucker in my strat without digging into it.

Sound:
This thing gives you a thick punchy sound that will blow your mind. Before I bought it I had an argument between this and a dimarzio track 2 pickup but I bought this one, Really happy too.

Ease of Use:
You can get some really nice harmonics out of this.

Overall:
Great pickup for all styles. if your thinking about it just buy it.
