The Rail Series from Seymour Duncan combines classic pickups with innovative rail design for modern players. This collection features JB Rails, Jazz Rails, the Hot-Rodded Rails Set, Nazgûl Rails, Sentient Rails, the Nazgûl Sentient Rails Set, and Black Winter Rails. Each pickup retains the revered characteristics of our originals while infusing them with the clarity, tightness, and sustain of rail design, making them ideal for high-gain applications. They are available for both 6 and 7 string guitars, now with the option of steel or black steel rails!
Crafted to explore the depths of metal tunings, the Nazgûl Sentient Rails Set unleashes blistering highs, cutting mids, and precise bass, embodying the essence of modern metal. Our Nazgûl Rails bridge is a brutal variation, combining the unrelenting articulation, saturation, and chug of our original Nazgûl with the clarity and tightness of a rail pickup. The rail design evenly distributes the magnetic field across the strings, enhancing string to string balance with increased clarity and sustain, for a response that is truly vicious, yet completely controllable.
The Sentient Rails neck pickup was designed as the perfect companion to our Nazgûl Rails, enhancing the original's ability to clean up effortlessly for intricate chordal passages while being clear and tight for single note runs under high gain for a modern response. This pickup is incredibly expressive with a broad harmonic range. Hand built in our Santa Barbara, CA factory, these humbucker pickups use Alnico 8 bar magnets, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and are vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance. The set is available in both 6 and 7 string versions, and now with option of steel or black steel rails!
