The addition of rails to the Black Winter’s brutal triple-ceramic magnet foundation takes the original’s high-output intensity to a whole new level of precision and performance. By evenly distributing the magnetic field across all strings, the rail design ensures unparalleled balance, even under the heaviest distortion. This tightens up the low end for focused power, while extending sustain for screaming leads that demand attention. Whether you’re chugging through drop-tuned brutality or layering intricate chord progressions, the Black Winter Rails keeps every note defined, giving you the responsiveness demanded by modern metal players.
Seymour Duncan Black Winter Rails are available for both 6 and 7-string guitars and are suitable for both standard and tremolo bridge spacings. No matter if you’re executing crushing riffs or unleashing scorching solos, these pickups are ready to transform your tone. Handcrafted in Santa Barbara, CA, the Black Winter Rails deliver unmatched clarity, sustain, and power for the most extreme styles.
