Seymour Duncan P-Rails with Flat Triple Shot Set, Black Pickup

The P-Rails system delivers unprecedented tonal flexibility by stacking three distinct pickup voicings in a single footprint. This black finish set arrives with the flat Triple Shot mounting ring configuration, engineered specifically for super-Strat layouts that require two switches to access all 24 tonal combinations. Hand-built in Santa Barbara using Alnico 5 magnets and vacuum wax potting, these pickups provide articulate, squeal-free performance across humbucking, P-90, and rails modes—reliable stand-by gear for players who demand sonic range without downtime.

Tonal Versatility & Switching Configuration

The included Triple Shot mounting ring system in flat configuration unlocks access to 24 different tonal options by combining three distinct pickup modes—humbucking for thick, warm output ideal for rhythm work and driven tones; P-90 for punchy midrange character that cuts in a live mix; and rails for bright, articulate high-end response perfect for leads and clean passages. The neck pickup is RWRP (reverse wind, reverse polarity), enabling series/parallel operation and hum-canceling configurations when paired with the bridge pickup—essential for gigging musicians who need dead-quiet operation on noisy stages.

Electrical Performance & Construction

Neck and bridge pickups deliver medium output across all three modes, with DC resistance ranging from 5.60 kOhm (rails) to 18.80 kOhm (bridge humbucking). Resonant peaks are precisely tuned per mode—the neck peaks at 4.6 kHz (humbucking), 3.6 kHz (P-90), and 7.0 kHz (rails), while the bridge peaks at 3.0 kHz (humbucking), 3.1 kHz (P-90), and 6.0 kHz (rails). Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and ensures stable performance under stage heat and humidity, and the 4-conductor leadwire supports series, parallel, and split configurations for maximum wiring flexibility.
