Designed for extreme metal players, this passive pickup combines the high-output aggression of the original Black Winter with the added benefits of rail construction. The rails evenly distribute the magnetic field across all seven strings, delivering unparalleled string-to-string balance, tight low-end response, and extended sustain.

Seymour Duncan Triple-Ceramic Magnets for Enhanced Output

The Black Winter Rails builds upon Seymour Duncan's signature triple-ceramic magnet foundation, delivering searing high-gain tones with precision. These magnets provide immense power and articulation, making every note stand out even in heavily distorted settings. The balanced magnet design ensures tight low-end response for brutal rhythm work while maintaining smooth highs for screaming solos. This combination allows players to achieve crushing riffs and fluid leads with ease. Whether you're layering complex chords or chugging through drop-tuned brutality, the triple-ceramic magnets keep your tone focused and defined.

Black Winter Rails Design for Superior String Balance

The rail construction of this pickup is engineered for modern metal players seeking absolute consistency across all strings. The rails create an even magnetic field, eliminating dead spots or uneven output between strings. This precision ensures articulate note clarity, even during rapid runs or intricate progressions. Additionally, the rail design tightens the low-end response, delivering focused power for palm-muted riffs, while providing extended sustain for lead work. Whether you're shredding solos or driving heavy rhythms, the rail system offers the responsiveness demanded by aggressive playing styles.
