Description
Seymour Duncan SHPR-1n P-Rails Neck, White Pickup
The SHPR-1n P-Rails neck pickup delivers a versatile single-coil and humbucker hybrid platform with articulate high-end response and controlled lows. This hand-built Seymour Duncan design excels in recording chains where tonal flexibility and split-coil capability unlock creative mixing options, offering both vintage sparkle and aggressive voiced harmonics from a single drop-in unit.
Design & Construction
Hand-built in Santa Barbara, CA, this pickup combines quality American craftsmanship with meticulous winding and potting processes. The vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and ensures stable performance across temperature and humidity ranges, critical for capture consistency during multi-take sessions and overdub work.
Tone & Electronics
The 13.00k DCR neck voice produces warm, balanced output with smooth note definition and natural compression that sits naturally in dense mixes without demanding EQ compensation. Powered by Alnico 5 bar magnets and wound in reverse-wind, reverse-polarity (RWRP) configuration, this pickup pairs seamlessly with standard bridge pickups for hum-cancellation when split, while delivering the focused midrange and reduced output typical of quality neck designs that glue rhythm and lead layers together.
Key Features
- DCR: 13.00k (neck specification)
- Magnet type: Alnico 5 bar magnets
- 4-conductor lead wire for coil-splitting and series/parallel wiring options
- Vacuum wax potted construction
- Reverse-wind, reverse-polarity (RWRP) winding
- Hand built in Santa Barbara, California
- Drop-in replacement for standard-sized humbucker routing
- P-Rails hybrid design combines single-coil and humbucker voice in one unit
The SHPR-1n P-Rails represents Seymour Duncan's commitment to flexible, recordable tone—a neck pickup engineered for producers who demand both versatility and consistency across sessions and arrangements.
