Seymour Duncan SHR-1b Hot Rails for Strat Black Pickup

The SHR-1b has a 16.6k ohm DCR and ceramic-magnet construction that generates substantial, high-output signal designed for hard rock, metal, and punk. It's a passive pickup that will work with any tube or solid-state amp; the focused, aggressive tone pairs well with overdriven and distorted channels.

No routing required — the Hot Rails maintains the classic single-coil-sized form factor and fits directly into your Strat bridge position as a drop-in replacement.

The pickup ships with a 4-conductor shielded cable that supports coil-tapping and flexible switching options, giving you expanded sonic versatility beyond straight bridge pickup operation.

The SHR-1b is engineered for hard rock, metal, rock, and punk; its aggressive output and tight articulation are not optimized for jazz or blues styles, which favor warmer, lower-output tones.

The pickup is hand-built in Santa Barbara with wax potting to eliminate microphonic squeal and ensure stable performance under hard playing and touring conditions.
