Seymour Duncan SHR-1n Hot Rails for Strat Parchment Pickup

The SHR-1n Hot Rails delivers aggressive output and articulate midrange punch in a compact single-coil form factor, making it an ideal neck pickup for players seeking humbucker-level aggression without routing their guitar body. This ceramic bar magnet design excels in high-gain contexts while maintaining clarity and definition that keeps note separation tight even under heavy compression or distortion.

Tone & Output Character

Built with a 10.8 k impedance and 4.8 KHz resonant peak, this pickup emphasizes upper midrange articulation and presence while delivering high output levels suitable for rock, metal, and alternative styles. The dual coil humbucker design in single-coil size provides the hum-canceling benefit of a full humbucker with the space-efficient dimensions of a traditional Strat neck pickup.

Construction & Reliability

Wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and squeal, ensuring clean signal transmission even at extreme volume levels. Each pickup is hand built in Santa Barbara, CA, combining meticulous craftsmanship with Seymour Duncan's proven engineering standards.
