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, and the Nazgûl
Sentient Rails Set. 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. T
he
JB Rails has our classic JB Model’s full low end, crips 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 JB Rails offers the modern player a unique
combination – bringing together the Seymour Duncan JB Model (one of our
most iconic pickups) with rail design. This configuration retains the
classic character of our JB Model with its powerful low-end, strong
highs, and upper midrange bump, which has made it the go-to lead pickup
for countless luminaries. Rail design evenly distributes the magnetic
field across the strings, providing enhanced string-to-string balance
with increased clarity and sustain. The result is perfect for modern
high-gain applications, and it looks as hot as it sounds.
Employing a 500k volume pot will give you pronounced high-end, while
opting for a 250k pot mellows and softens the tone, ideal for a smoother
response. The JB Rails is designed to pair perfectly with our Jazz
Rails neck pickup.
Hand built in our Santa Barbara, CA factory,
the JB Rails uses an Alnico 8 bar magnet, 4-conductor lead wire for
multiple wiring options like series, parallel and split coil, and is
vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance.
