A more radical evolution of a contemporary metal classic
Having become a benchmark in the bridge position for low tunings and modern styles, the Nazgul is now available in a Rails version to push control and response consistency even further. The spirit remains the same: bite, saturation, and massive presence, with a more "locked-in" feel in the low spectrum.
Who is it for and what sounds does it deliver?
The Seymour Duncan Nazgul Rails 7-string is aimed at guitarists who want a bridge pickup capable of cutting through the mix without sacrificing definition, even with high gain. Ideal for modern metal, djent, death metal, metalcore, and any setup seeking punchy palm-mutes, easy harmonics, and maximum clarity in low tunings.
Rails, Alnico 8, and handcrafted construction: control, sustain, and feedback resistance
Its rails design provides uniform string-to-string pickup and enhances the sense of precision, while delivering solid sustain and increased clarity in attacks. The Alnico 8 magnets contribute to the pickup's power and muscular character. Handmade in Santa Barbara, California, it is vacuum wax potted to reduce unwanted noise and ensure stable performance at high volume and heavy distortion.
