An Iconic "Rails" Pickup to Beef Up a Strat Without Altering Its Character
The Cool Rails is part of the "rails" pickups designed to offer a credible alternative to traditional single coils: it keeps the size of a Strat pickup while benefiting from a dual architecture that is quieter and thicker. This SCR-1B-W version is dedicated to the bridge position and features a white finish, perfect for classic or modern Strat configurations.
For Which Styles and Guitarists?
Designed to cover a wide range, this pickup targets guitarists who want a more "robust" Strat output and sustain without losing the pick attack precision. Its applications range from Blues to Classic Rock, including Jazz-Rock Fusion and Heavy Rock : in short, it excels when alternating between clear attacks, tight palm-mutes, articulate crunch, and thicker leads. In the bridge position, it provides a more controlled and less aggressive response than a very bright single coil while remaining dynamic.
Rails, Ceramic Magnet, and 4-Conductor Wiring: Versatility and Silence
Thanks to its dual single-coil format design (rail blades), the SCR-1B-W ensures consistent pickup, even with wide bends and varied string gauges. The ceramic magnet promotes a sharp attack and good definition, particularly useful for overdriven and modern tones. The 4-conductor wiring allows for multiple configurations (series, parallel, and split ) to tailor the pickup's character to your guitar, amp, and pedalboard. With a 10.3 K resistance and a 4 kHz peak, it achieves a balance designed to maintain presence and bite while thickening the bridge's midrange.
