The Seymour Duncan SHR-1n Hot Rails for Strat Neck Pickup – Cream delivers powerful humbucker output in a single-coil size, with thick mids, tight lows and smooth highs for rock, metal and high-gain Strat tones.

The Seymour Duncan SHR-1n Hot Rails for Strat Neck Pickup – Cream is a high-output single-coil-sized humbucker designed to transform a Stratocaster neck position into a powerful, noise-free tone machine. Featuring dual blade rails and a ceramic magnet, the Hot Rails delivers aggressive output, strong sustain and punchy midrange while eliminating 60-cycle hum.

Perfect for players who want thick, driving tones without modifying their guitar, the SHR-1n excels in hard rock, metal, punk and modern high-gain styles. Despite its output, it retains articulation and clarity for lead playing, making it a versatile upgrade for Strat-style guitars needing more power in the neck position.

The pickup includes 4-conductor wiring for flexible switching options such as coil-splitting, series and parallel wiring. Hand Built in the USA and vacuum wax potted, the SHR-1n ensures reliable, squeal-free performance on stage and in the studio.
