A Signature Designed for Modern Metal Stage Performance
Considered one of the most impactful guitarists on the current metal scene, Wes Hauch has built a reputation for playing that is both fierce and incredibly clean, heard in bands like Alluvial and The Faceless, as well as in sessions alongside artists such as Devin Townsend. To capture this precise and aggressive tone, he requested a set of rail humbuckers capable of maintaining maximum clarity, even under high gain and in the densest mixes.
Who Is It For, and Which Styles?
This neck version of the Jupiter Rails targets 6-string guitarists who want fluid leads, fast passages that remain clear, and complex chords that don't get muddy. In modern metal, prog, death, djent, or metalcore, it delivers immediate definition while retaining the essential "snappy" feel to stay present alongside heavily layered drums and bass.
Stainless Steel Rails, Ceramic Magnet, and High-Output Winding: The Jupiter Formula
The Jupiter is built around two stainless steel rails paired with a ceramic magnet and a special high-output winding. The result is a pronounced attack, accentuated mids, and excellent bass control without sacrificing clarity. The 4-conductor wiring allows switching from a tight, powerful humbucker to more open options (split or parallel) depending on your wiring preferences. Handmade at Seymour Duncan's workshop in Santa Barbara, California (USA), the Jupiter is available individually in neck or bridge versions and also as a set. Note: the bridge version has a higher resistance (14.27 kOhm) than this neck version.
