Impossibly huge sounding, this Telecaster rhythm humbucker can match any high output bridge.

Seymour Duncan

collapse expand iconDescription

Designed for a Fender Telecaster's neck position, the Seymour Duncan Hot Rails Pickup delivers a fat, full sound with incredible output. The STHR1-N's powerful ceramic magnet, two steel blades and overwound coils all combine to provide a heavy, raw, distorted tone with incredible sustain. Ceramic magnets produce a more aggressive tone with a punchier bass and enhanced upper mids. The Seymour Duncan pickup comes in black only with four-conductor cable. Works equally well with maple and rosewood fingerboards.

    I spent almost $600 dollars on my telecaster and I can't believe how awesome it is... it is like i took a modern player made in China $450 from ten years ago and swapped out the pickups and silver hardware for black hardware and it sounds like the ESP or the Jim Root Tele...well maybe I'm exaggerating a little but...Dan at Guitar Center Brea did an awesome job...

    If you want to get away from the tele twang, these have great tone and sound even better with overdrive.

    Bought this pickup for the neck position on my squire tele to pair with the Seymour Duncan Black Winter humbucker that I had in the bridge position. Installation was simple with basic soldering skills. The pickup sounds amazing and pairs pretty darn well with the Black Winter bridge pickup! Couldn't have asked for a better pickup.

    The Hot Rails neck pickup for Telecasters is absolutely fantastic! I haven't found a style of music that it can't handle. Clean, you get a smooth, full, sound; distorted, it can go from a light overdrive to an aggressive metal tone. It will adapt to whatever you are playing. Some reviews say that this pickup doesn't have a good clean sound; that is untrue. If you are skeptical about buying one of these, don't be. You won't be dissapointed.

    I just installed the new duncan tele hot rail neck pickup in my peavey generation(tele)guitar, along with a hot rail tele bridge pick up. The neck blends real well with the bridge pickup but a little smoother. I used 500k pots instead of the traditional 250k. Neck is usefull for jazz, blues, soft tones, as well as shredding. Bridge is for heavier tones, but if you roll back the volume you can pull off some twang too. Along with vintage rock. I really like the hot rail tele set for all kinds of music. Just bought samarian cobalt pick ups for my USA tele they kick but too. you wont be dissapointed...

    I just installed these Seymour Duncan Hotrails in both positons on a MIM Fender Telecaster and they sound great. The pickups bring alot fuller tones than the stock pickups that came on the guitar. When I got it back i tryed it compared to a American Tele and most people liked the sound of my MIM. I would install these on any telecaster in the future!

    This product says it is only used with tele guitars. Can you use this with other guitars like stratocasters or Ibanez guitars?

    It's designed for Tele's but you can put it in almost any other electric guitar. You may have to modify the pickguard to get it to fit, but it will work.
