Seymour Duncan SHR-1n Hot Rails Strat Neck/Middle Pickup Parchment guitar element

General

Seymour Duncan's Hot Rails pickups are now so well established that one would almost forget how special these elements are. Indeed, before the advent of the SHR-1, humbuckers were also put into an electric guitar with standard single-coils only, but one had to make the hole of the existing element in the body a lot bigger. Because this is a humbucker in a more compact singlecoil-style body, this is now no longer necessary and such a replacement with high-output pickup like this one has become a lot easier. This SHR-1n Hot Rails is specifically designed for the neck position, but is also a great choice as a mid-element replacement. Thanks to the 4-core cable, by the way, it is also possible to make this double-coil element sound like a single-coil-style pickup via coil-splitting.
