Seymour Duncan Sentient™ Rails | 6-String High-Output Neck Humbucker Pickup - Black | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Seymour Duncan Sentient™ Rails 6-string neck pickup was designed as the perfect companion to the Nazgûl Rails bridge pickup, adding supreme expression to a high-gain setup. Its rail design evenly distributes the magnetic field across the strings, enhancing string-to-string balance with increased clarity and sustain for intricate chordal passages, while staying clear and tight for single-note runs under high gain for a modern response. This neck pickup is built for modern metal and high-gain players who want a broad harmonic range, and it excels in lower tunings on any guitar.
Product Overview
Designed for flawless conjunctive use with the Nazgûl Rails high-output bridge humbucker, the Sentient Rails offers clear, tight response and marvelous sustain, with an enormous harmonic range that unleashes a world of high-gain possibilities.
