Seymour Duncan Pickups: It's All About the Tone

Designed to boost the output of your Tele, the STHR-1 Hot Rails is a high output single-coil sized humbucker. This rails-style pickup is a direct replacement for an existing Tele pickup and uses a ceramic magnet and overwound coils to provide a heavy distorted sound with excellent sustain. The STHR-1 boasts a chunky midrange, letting your Tele really cut through the mix. If you're looking to augment your Tele tone with something a bit more on the rude side, drop in an STHR-1 Hot Rails and start rocking!

Seymour Duncan STHR-1 Hot Rails at a Glance:
  • Sound
  • Complete setup

Sound
The STHR-1 Hot Rails is a high output single-coil size rails humbucker that's great for classic rock, garage, punk, heavy rock, thrash, classic metal, and nu-metal. It delivers a fat, full sound with incredible output. The powerful ceramic magnet, two steel blades, and overwound coils all combine to provide a heavy, raw, distorted tone with incredible sustain. Compared to the Little '59, Hot Rails has more output and a chunkier midrange. The STHR-1 comes only in black with four-conductor cable.

Complete setup
Available in lead (bridge) position only, the STHR-1 matches up well with a Vintage Rhythm Stack for a totally quiet rig or with a Hot Rhythm for an all around hot axe. The STHR-1 is for all well-balanced instruments and works equally well with maple and rosewood fingerboards.

No more twang

They did the trick. Now I feel better about playing this guitar in a hard rock band. Easy to install. I didn’t have to remove the strings. I have added a video.
Rated 5/5

PHENOMENAL!!!

Purchased this to replace the bridge pickup of a Strandberg Salen & love it! Does what a humbucker pickup should do, all in a t-style pickup configuration. No disappointment whatsoever! If your looking for a humbucker replacement in a single coil size, this is your "Go-To".
Rated 5/5

Resurrected my old Tele

I have an old Tele and wanted to bring new life to it as it just didn't excite me anymore to play it.

I put Seymour Duncan Hot Rails in both the neck and Bridge slots, and it just wails now like a banshee.

Love how crisp and distinctive these pickups are and how they really sparkle.

They are super alive, yet not so hot as to remove any crispness and cleanness of the great Telecaster sound.
Rated 5/5

Tele power pickup

A great sound for those who want a full sound from a tele. No twang here.
