Essential Information About the Black Winter Rails Bridge Pickup
- Passive humbucker rails designed for extreme metal: massive gain, sharp attacks, surgical definition.
- Triple ceramic magnet and continuous rails for uniform string-to-string response and tighter lows.
- Clarity in mids/highs for articulated leads and punchy palm mutes, even in drop tunings.
- 4-conductor wiring for advanced splits and wiring combinations.
Context and Positioning
An evolution of the famous Black Winter, the "Rails" version pushes ferocity and precision even further. Tailored for the most extreme subgenres, this handmade model from Santa Barbara ranks among the reference high-gain bridge pickups.
Who This Pickup Is For
For modern metal, black/death, djent, or hardcore guitarists who demand a
bridge pickup that is ultra-stable in drop tunings, capable of dominating the mix without bleeding, on 6 or 7-string guitars, both in studio and on stage.
Features and Functionality
The rail design distributes the magnetic field across the entire string width for exemplary balance, even with the most aggressive saturations. The
dual coil limits noise, tightens the bass, and extends sustain while maintaining a sharp attack for fast riffs and precise solos. Compatible with fixed bridges or vibratos, its 4-conductor wiring facilitates splits and parallel wiring to refine your tone.
