Seymour Duncan Hotrail pickup upgrade

The Seymour Duncan STHR-1 Tele Hot Rails Pickup is a lead position pickup that is a direct replacement humbucker. It delivers fat, full Seymour Duncan sound. The 2 thin blades with powerful coil windings combine to give you a raw, distorted rock 'n' roll tone with incredible sustain.

 

Make your Tele Hotter and Fatter

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!

It's all about the tone

This guitar started life as a standard Tele, an extremely dull "meh" guitar. Let's just say now sings above any Tele Tom has ever played. The new Seymour Duncan pick up delivers all the tone, gain and volume you could ever need ranging from the blues to full explosion metal! This Tele has been set up for half step down tunings (D*) with Power Slinky strings (11 - 48). Tom is looking forward to getting this beauty in the recording studio and on stage soon!

This brute has enough power to compete with humbuckers and hot P-90s. The stronger magnetic field of the quarter-inch diameter pole pieces increases the output and allows use of a special coil winding. It keeps the high-end definition for great treble bite and a full, powerful midrange. It's especially useful for overdriven tones.
LOW WINTER SUN EP AVAILABLE NOW - http://www.lylewatt.bandcamp.com The lovely people at Seymour Duncan sent me these awesome pickups to demo. They're the "Hot For Tele" pickups - they're like normal vintage sounding telecaster pickups, but with a more powerful sound - great for high gain.
The Hot Rails For Telecaster turns any Tele style guitar into a high-output screamer, with expanded output, more midrange, harmonics and sustain. More info here: http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/electric/telecaster/high-output/hot_rails_for_t/
