Seymour Duncan Jupiter 6-String Rail Bridge Humbucker Black Rails Pickup vs Seymour Duncan El Diablo Rail Bdg Humbucker Black Pickup
The Jupiter is a lower-output, ceramic-magnet design optimized for extended-range guitars and clarity in extreme tunings, while the El Diablo is a hotter, Alnico 2-based pickup built for maximum aggression and feedback elimination in standard and drop-tuned setups. Choose the Jupiter if you play 7+ strings or prioritize articulation across a wider fingerboard; choose the El Diablo if you want maximum output and wax-potted noise rejection for high-volume metal.

Frequently asked questions
Will either pickup work well with 7-string or 8-string guitars?
The Jupiter is explicitly designed for 6-string rail bridge use. The El Diablo is also a standard 6-string bridge pickup. Neither product description indicates extended-range compatibility; verify with the manufacturer if you need a 7+ string option.
What is the main output difference between these two?
The El Diablo has significantly higher DC resistance (21.72K ohms) compared to the Jupiter (14.278K ohms), making it roughly 50% hotter and more aggressive. The Jupiter sacrifices some raw output to maintain articulation and clarity at extreme gain levels.
Do both pickups support coil-splitting?
Yes—both feature 4-conductor wiring that enables coil-splitting functionality without modification, allowing single-coil tones on demand.
Will the El Diablo fit in any standard guitar cavity?
The El Diablo is slightly longer than a standard humbucker and requires verification of your guitar's bridge cavity before installation. The Jupiter uses standard humbucker dimensions and fits any guitar without modification.
