THE RAIL SERIES

Introducing the Rail Series from Seymour Duncan, where classic pickups meet innovative rail design for modern players. This collection features JB Rails, Jazz Rails, the Hot-Rodded Rails Set, Nazgûl Rails, Sentient Rails, the Nazgûl Sentient Rails Set, and the Black Winter Rails. Each pickup retains the revered characteristics of our originals while infusing them with the clarity, tightness, and sustain of rail design, making them ideal for high-gain applications.

The JB Rails has our classic JB Model’s full low end, crisp highs, and upper-midrange bump, but adds the tightness and accentuated attack of the rails platform. The Jazz Rails pickup is a perfect complement, maintaining the original Jazz’s glassy treble response, full bass, and scooped mids while incorporating the string-to-string balance of a rail design. The Hot-Rodded Rails Set combines JB Rails and Jazz Rails, delivering a versatile, high-gain setup.

The Nazgûl Rails retains the brutal articulation of the Nazgûl while adding the rails design gives focused low-end and precise sustain, perfect for modern metal. The Sentient Rails neck pickup, designed to pair with Nazgûl Rails, delivers exceptional clarity and harmonic range, ideal for intricate chordal passages and lower tunings. Together, the Nazgûl Sentient Rails Set offers blistering highs, cutting mids, and precise bass, capturing the essence of modern metal.

Black Winter Rails builds on the ferocity of our original Black Winter pickup, adding the modern benefits of rail construction. Designed for the most extreme metal genres, it delivers searing high-gain tone with enhanced string-to-string balance, tight low-end, and screaming sustain. Available in 6 and 7-string versions, Black Winter Rails is the go-to choice for players who demand clarity, aggression, and absolute tonal control in drop tunings and high-gain applications.
