Description
Seymour Duncan SHPR-1s P-Rails Set White Pickup
The SHPR-1s P-Rails captures articulate, controlled output with exceptional clarity across single-coil and humbucker voicings. This versatile pickup set bridges the gap between classic single-coil definition and full-bodied humbucker punch, making it essential for tracking sessions demanding tonal flexibility without compromise. The vacuum wax potting ensures rock-solid stability and eliminates microphonic feedback, protecting your recordings under any recording condition.
Tonal Character & Recording Response
The neck pickup carries a DCR of 13.00k and employs RWRP (Reverse Wound/Reverse Polarity) winding to achieve hum-cancellation when both pickups are engaged during layered tracking. This design choice balances responsiveness with clarity, delivering defined note separation and smooth sustain that sits cleanly in a dense mix across all registers.
Construction & Studio Implementation
Alnico 5 bar magnets provide the magnetic foundation for rich, dynamic response with excellent note definition that captures nuance during close-mic'd sessions. Handmade in Santa Barbara, California, each set reflects meticulous assembly and quality control that defines Seymour Duncan's reputation for studio-grade reliability. The 4-conductor lead wire offers wiring flexibility for coil-splitting and series/parallel configurations, expanding your tonal palette considerably across multiple takes and song arrangements.
