Seymour Duncan Jazz Rails

The Jazz Rails is a new take on one of our most popular neck humbuckers. The Jazz Model is well known for shimmering treble response and solid, well-defined bass even in the most overdriven situations. Rail design evenly distributes the magnetic field across the strings, resulting in enhanced string-to-string balance with increased clarity and sustain, especially when used with high gain in modern applications.

Hand built in our Santa Barbara, CA factory, the Jazz Rails humbuckers feature an Alnico 8 bar magnet, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and are vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance. They are available 6-String and 7-String versions.

The Rail Series

Introducing the Rail Series from Seymour Duncan, where classic pickups meet innovative rail design for modern players. This collection features JB Rails, Jazz Rails, the Hot-Rodded Rails Set, Nazgûl Rails, Sentient Rails, and the Nazgûl Sentient Rails Set. Each pickup retains the revered characteristics of our originals while infusing them with the clarity, tightness, and sustain of rail design, making them ideal for high-gain applications. 

The JB Rails has our classic JB Model’s full low end, crips highs, and upper-midrange bump, but adds the tightness and accentuated attack of the rails platform. The Jazz Rails pickup is a perfect complement, maintaining the original Jazz’s glassy treble response, full bass, and scooped mids while incorporating the string-to-string balance of a rail design. The Hot-Rodded Rails Set combines JB Rails and Jazz Rails, delivering a versatile, high-gain setup. 

The Nazgûl Rails retains the brutal articulation of the Nazgûl while adding the rails design gives focused low-end and precise sustain, perfect for modern metal. The Sentient Rails neck pickup, designed to pair with Nazgûl Rails, delivers exceptional clarity and harmonic range, ideal for intricate chordal passages and lower tunings. Together, the Nazgûl Sentient Rails Set offers blistering highs, cutting mids, and precise bass, capturing the essence of modern metal. 

Available for both 6-String and 7-String guitars. They are suitable for both standard humbucker and trembucker string spacing.
