Seymour Duncan SHPR-1N P-Rails (Neck, Black)

Until now, if you wanted humbucker, P-90, and vintage Strat® tones, you’d have to haul three guitars to the gig. Enter P-Rails™. It’s a full-size humbucker that splits to either a full-size P-90 or a special Alnico-powered single-coil Rail pickup.

The humbucker sound is full and expansive, owing to the mismatched coil configuration. The P-90 is super fat. And the Rail coils, when used together, sound like the “2” and “4” positions in a great Strat.

P-Rails are best used in a matched neck and bridge set. To get both humbucker and P-90 tones, use a two-way switch (push-pull or mini-toggle). To have humbucker and P-90 tones and bring in the added dimension of the single-coil Rail, use a three-way switch (DPDT on-off-on).
