A Signature Pickup Tailored for Modern Metal
Considered one of the standout guitarists on the current metal scene, Wes Hauch is known for a playing style that is both fierce and extremely clean. To capture this articulated and impactful tone, the Jupiter was developed in close collaboration with him: a rail humbucker that is tight, balanced, and particularly precise in the mids, designed to stay clear where many pickups tend to get muddy.
Who It's For and Playing Context
The Black Jupiter Rails in the bridge position is aimed at guitarists who want massive rhythm tones, sharp attacks, and leads that effortlessly stand out. It excels at high gain, in drop tunings, and across all modern metal styles where clear string separation and fast right-hand response are expected. This model is specified for 7-string guitars, and is also described as a bridge pickup for 6-string guitars: check the spacing and format required by your instrument before installation.
Stainless Steel Rails, Ceramic Magnet, and High Output Winding
Its design is based on two stainless steel rails for even and consistent string response, especially useful when playing aggressively, alternating between precise picking and heavy chords, or using heavier gauge strings. The ceramic magnet enhances bite and firmness in the low end, while the high output winding emphasizes a pronounced midrange attack with clear articulation, even under dense saturation. Handmade at the Seymour Duncan workshop in Santa Barbara (California, USA), it is offered here in a black finish with black rails on black bobbins for a discreet and decidedly modern look.
