An Evolution Tailored for the Extreme

The Black Winter Rails carries the fierce DNA of the Black Winter and pushes it towards even greater precision. Thanks to its rail design, it aims for better string-to-string consistency, a crucial point on a 7-string when alternating heavy riffs, back-and-forth blasts, and more technical passages. Handmade in Santa Barbara, it is designed to withstand the demands of intense playing and remain reliable both in rehearsals and on tour.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

This bridge pickup is aimed at modern 7-string metal guitarists (black, death, djent) who want a sound that cuts through the mix without fuzziness. It excels in massive palm mutes, choppy rhythms, and fast leads, with articulation that stays clear as gain rises and tuning drops.

Rails, Voicing, and Wiring Versatility

The rail bar distributes the magnetic field evenly, helping maintain a consistent response regardless of vibrato width, string gauge differences, or picking intensity. Its voicing emphasizes tight lows, punchy mids, and incisive highs for easily accessible harmonics and a crisp attack. The 4-conductor wiring opens the door to advanced wiring options (split, series/parallel, phase reversal) to switch from a wall of saturation to finer textures while retaining the pickup's edgy character.
