A modern Seymour Duncan classic, designed for guitarists who love to explore everything
The Seymour Duncan P-Rails SHPR-1S-C set has established itself as an essential solution for musicians who want to switch between different tonal ranges without changing guitars. Its hybrid concept combines two complementary "personalities" in each pickup: a full and gritty voice inspired by the P-90, and a more precise and biting "rail" coil. Together, they form a true humbucker with a strong character.
For which guitars and styles?
This kit (neck + bridge) is aimed at guitarists who play multiple styles and want a coherent palette on stage and in the studio: blues, classic rock, pop, surf, jazz, up to heavier genres. In humbucker mode, you gain thickness and output level. In P-90 mode, enjoy a broad grain rich in midrange. And in Rail (single-coil) mode, you get a sharper attack and dynamic clean tones, perfect for rhythm playing.
Three voices in each pickup: humbucker, P-90, or Rail single-coil
Each pickup in the set offers three distinct modes via splitting (depending on your wiring scheme): humbucker (both coils together), P-90 (P-90 coil alone), or Rail (rail coil alone). This is based on Alnico V magnets (two bars) and a 4-conductor cable that facilitates advanced setups. The result: a guitar capable of covering a wide sonic spectrum while maintaining a strong and usable identity.

Questions frequently asked
Do the P-Rails pickups allow switching between humbucker, P-90, and single coil modes?
Both pickups offer three modes: humbucker, P-90 coil only, or Rail coil only. Selection is done by splitting according to the chosen wiring scheme. In humbucker mode, both coils are combined.
What sound does the bridge pickup produce in humbucker mode?
In the bridge position, the DC resistance reaches 18.80 kOhms in humbucker mode, with a resonance peak at 3.0 kHz. This configuration delivers a medium to high output and increased thickness.
What wiring is needed to utilize the three modes?
The 4-conductor shielded cable facilitates advanced wiring setups and access to split modes according to the wiring diagram. Each pickup is equipped with two coils and Alnico V magnets.
What references are included in the Seymour Duncan SHPR-1S-C set?
Each set includes an SHPR-1N for the neck position and an SHPR-1B for the bridge position.
What finish is offered for this P-Rails kit?
The cream finish is applied to both humbucker-format pickups.
