Description
The Hot Rails set swaps your Tele’s stock single-coils for a pair of stacked-blade humbuckers that fit the same routing but hit way harder. Under the covers you’ll find a ceramic magnet paired with twin steel blades and coils wound well past vintage output levels, so the whole thing pushes your amp into thick, saturated territory with plenty of sustain to spare.
Because the blades run the full length of the string spacing, you get even pickup response across all six strings instead of the hot-and-cold feel some narrow-aperture humbuckers can have. That translates into a fat, compressed low end and a chunky midrange that cuts through a dense mix – noticeably beefier and more aggressive than Seymour Duncan’s own Little ’59, which is the closest comparison point in the Tele-sized humbucker lineup.
Tonally this set is built for players who live on the heavier end of the spectrum: classic rock, garage, punk, thrash, classic metal, and nu-metal all sit comfortably in its wheelhouse. It’s a genuinely humbucking design, so 60-cycle hum is a non-issue even at high-gain settings.
- High-output single-coil-size rails humbucker set for Telecaster
- Ceramic magnet with dual steel blades per pickup
- Over-wound coils for heavy, raw, distorted tone with strong sustain
- Four-conductor cable for flexible wiring options
- Black cover finish
- Works well on well-balanced instruments with either maple or rosewood fingerboards
If your Tele needs to sound less twang, more thunder, this is the direct route there.
