Designed with two stainless steel rails, a ceramic magnet, and a high-output winding specifically crafted in close collaboration with Wes Hauch: this is how the Jupiter was born, an aggressive humbucker, clear yet with a pronounced attack in the midrange. Neck pickup for 6-string guitar in black finish, 4-conductor design, resistance level 8.02k.
Considered one of the best guitarists on the modern metal scene, Wes Hauch's reputation is well established. Whether with Alluvial, Devin Townsend, Thy Art Is Murder, The Faceless, or as a guest soloist on countless albums, Wes's fierce yet extremely clean playing cuts through the mix like a scalpel.
To achieve the aggressive and articulate tone he is known for, Wes requested a set of rail humbuckers with a fiery output level and maximum balance and clarity. Composed of two stainless steel rails, a ceramic magnet, and a specific winding to reach the desired output level, the Jupiter humbuckers deliver an aggressive tone with precise mids and excellent string-to-string balance. It won't give you Wes's fingers, but at least you'll have the right sound!
Handmade at the Seymour Duncan workshop in Santa Barbara, California (USA), the Wes Hauch signature Jupiter humbucker is available individually for bridge or neck position and also as a set of two pickups.
