Widely considered one of the best players in the modern metal scene, Wes Hauch’s reputation precedes him. Whether playing with Alluvial, Devin Townsend, Thy Art Is Murder, The Faceless, or as a guest soloist on countless records, Wes’ ferociously aggressive and immaculately clean playing cuts like a knife through the mix.

In 2019, we partnered with powerhouse metal guitarist Wes Hauch to craft the Custom Shop Jupiter 7-String Rails bridge humbucker. After receiving overwhelming praise from extended-range players and countless requests, we developed this brutal pickup in a 6-string version and created a perfectly calibrated neck pickup to accompany the bridge. The Wes Hauch Jupiter Rails 7 set is also now available to order from the main Seymour Duncan site as a Production Floor model.

Jupiter Rails 6-String Humbucker Set

Built with dual stainless-steel rail poles, a ceramic magnet, and a finely tuned high-output wind.

To facilitate the articulate and aggressive tones he’s known for, Wes requested a passive rails humbucker set with searing output and maximum clarity and balance. Built with dual stainless-steel rail poles, a ceramic magnet, and a finely tuned high-output wind developed closely with Wes, the Jupiter Rails set is a passive pickup pair that delivers aggressive mid-range attack, evenly balanced string response, and focused clarity. It won’t make you play like Wes, but it will help you cop his tone.

Jupiter Rails 7-String Humbucker Set

Delivers aggressive mid-range focused attack, evenly balanced string response, and clarity.

Like all our guitar pickups, pedals, and amps, the Jupiter Rails Humbucker Set is designed and assembled in the USA at our Santa Barbara, California factory.
