Seymour Duncan 11205-02 SHR-1b Hot Rails Strat Guitar Pickup Bridge Black

An excellent replacement for my neck pickup.

I purchased this pick up from Angledbox and there was a problem with the delivery address, we couldn't figure it out but they went straight on the case, they spoke to Amazon and their courier company to get the item retrieved and sent to the right address. Great customer service from Angledbox, highly recommend it supplier. The pick up is excellent with a lot of output, as good as a hot rail can get.

Sound beautiful in the bridge of my fender player strat!!! Now I have a beautiful hybrid monster of a guitar. Highly recommend this pickup

LOve the power behind these. Would recommend.

Brilliant pickup with huge thick warm sound. Fantastic replacement for my squier strat.

Great pickup, Makes a strat much more versatile. Sounds a little dark with standard 250k pots but still an improvement.

Excellent postage time and packaging, I've wanted one of these Pickups for a long time, have installed it and it sounds great!!!

Best Strat pick up ever!

Ok I realize tone is pretty subjective. Ive been playing guitar for almost 30 years now, and mostly played Gibson guitars with Humbuckers. Like most guitar players, its fun to get different gear, to tone chase and try to get that sound in your head etc…In the last couple of years I have been able to pick up a couple of nice Strats, despite feeling they were for blues or classic rock for most of my adult life. I was pleasantly surprised that I liked the action and the way they played. But, I always had a tough time with the bridge pickup sound. I liked the clarity, but i feel they need more sustain and harmonics. Plus they always have that inherent high end single-coilness, which I personally do not prefer. I have routed out some less expensive guitars/pickguards and installed various other humbuckers. But I didn’t want to go that route with my more expensive strats. I play mostly 80’s rock through modern metal. I have about 17 guitars, pickups in them are stock Fender, stock Gibson, EMG’s, and about 4 guitars with some Dimarzio humbuckers. Choosing pickups nowadays can be a little daunting, manufacturers have so many different models. Youtube videos help, but sometimes its hard to tell with all of the different effects chains, amps, video processing, different types of guitars etc.. But I decided to give Seymour Duncan pickups a try. I know I’m late to the game, but I am kind if a creature of habit with a if it’s not broke, don’t fix it type of mentality. Long story long, I installed the hot rail pickup in the bridge of a guitar I liked, but now I love. Harmonic’s and sustain are much more lively, with a clarity that I really like over many of my other guitars. Shipping was fast, instillation was very easy, and since installing the hot rail, I have literally ordered a bunch of other Seymour Duncan pickups to install in my other guitars. I now have a Slash set, Yngwie Malmsteen set, 2 JB’s and a JB jr… and while I like all of these pickups for their different tones, I think the Hot Rail and the JB are my favorite for everyday use. It’s kind of funny, because I used to think that Hot Rails were kind of gimmicky, old 80’s style pickup’s etc. that couldn’t be as good as a full sized humbucker, right? Nope, I was wrong.

Picked this up for my Partscaster build. I wanted the humbucker sound but the body I had limited me to single coil size.It was very easy to install and wire up. Screws are included along with rubber bumpers, these are a nice touch over more traditional springs.Leads are colour coded, making it very easy to follow any wiring diagrams you find.The tone is amazing. While not as fat sounding as normal humbuckers due to the smaller size, it still packs a punch. It's responsive to my volume and tone controls, and goes well with the few pedals I use.Whatever tone you're looking for, this can deliver!

No noise, 100% chugs, still plenty of 'strat' tone left.

Quacky, well-rounded sound. High output powerhouse. It sounds super rich through a Metal Zone pedal & an eq.

Parfait pour une Strat, mais ce n'est pas un JB Sh4 !
