A Collaboration Tailored for Modern Metal
Considered a benchmark in the current metal scene, Wes Hauch has established a sound that is both fierce and remarkably clean. To capture this aggressive and articulated tone, the Jupiter Rails was developed in close collaboration with him, with a clear demand: maximum punch without sacrificing definition. The result: a humbucker that remains clear even when gain is high and the mix becomes dense.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This kit is aimed at 6-string guitarists who want a bridge pickup that can deliver powerful output without muddiness, and a neck pickup suitable for precise, singing leads. Perfect for metal (djent, death, prog, metalcore), but also for any context where sharp attacks, easily emerging harmonies, and metronomic rhythms are desired. If you enjoy complex chords under saturation, you will appreciate the note separation and balance between strings.
Rails, Ceramic, and High Output Winding: The Winning Trio
The Jupiter relies on two stainless steel rails for consistent string coverage across the entire string width, useful for lower tunings or very dynamic playing. The ceramic magnet provides the tension, speed, and impact necessary for modern styles, while the specific winding targets a high output level with prominent mids and pronounced attack. At the bridge, the higher resistance enhances bite and density; at the neck, a more moderate resistance preserves clarity for readable solos. All finished in black, with black rails over black coils, for a sleek and aggressive look.
