Description
Seymour Duncan Black Winter Rail Neck 7-String Black Pickup
The Black Winter Rail Neck captures focused, articulate tones across all seven strings with even magnetic field distribution courtesy of its rail construction. Designed for studio tracking and session work that demands clarity and definition without sacrificing the aggression the Black Winter line is known for, this passive humbucker excels in high-gain recording contexts and modern metal productions.
Recording Tone & Magnetic Design
The triple-ceramic magnet configuration paired with the rail design ensures consistent pickup response across the entire string span, eliminating dead zones that plague traditional pole-piece layouts on extended-range instruments. At 15.7K ohms DC resistance, this neck pickup balances articulation with sufficient output to cut through dense mixes without requiring additional boost during mix-down.
Construction & Studio Reliability
Hand-crafted in Santa Barbara, California, this pickup features naked coils and wax potting to eliminate microphonic feedback while preserving natural harmonic content for cleaner recordings. The 4-conductor shielded cable allows flexible wiring configurations and seamless integration into existing studio setups and recording chains.
