Detail 01
8.56k DC resistance
Moderately hot. More push and midrange than a vintage single-coil wind, still short of a high-output humbucker.

Seymour DuncanSHPR-1b P-Rails - Bridge Pickup Cream
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single bridge pickup with P90 voicing in cream. For players who want more midrange grit than a standard single-coil without going to a humbucker.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bridge swaps where the stock single-coil sounds thin
- Blues and rock players after P90 midrange bite
- Builds using cream or white plastic hardware
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Neck position — this is wound for bridge duty
- Players needing dead-quiet operation under high gain
- Anyone wanting a full set from one purchase
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
6.0 kHz resonant peak
High-end emphasis sits fairly high, so pick attack and string detail stay forward rather than rolled off.
Detail 03
P90 configuration
Sits between a thin single-coil and a humbucker: thicker mids and more grunt, still single-coil clarity and edge.
Detail 04
Single-coil mode
One coil at a time gives classic single-coil response and the 60-cycle hum that comes with it.
Detail 05
Bridge position
Wound for where string movement is smallest. At the neck it would sound dark and oversized.
Detail 06
Cream cover
Cream reads warmer and yellower than bright white, so it will not match a stark white pickguard exactly.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One pickup only — a neck pickup is a separate purchase
- 02Confirm your route and mounting hardware match before ordering
- 03Cream and white plastics age differently; compare against existing parts if matching
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this pickup hum?
In single-coil mode, yes — it picks up 60-cycle hum the way any single-coil does, most noticeably under gain or near screens and lighting.
02Can I put it in the neck position?
You can, but it is wound for the bridge. In the neck it will sound darker and thicker than intended.
03How hot is it compared to a normal single-coil?
Hotter. At 8.56k it pushes more output and midrange than a vintage-wound single-coil, without reaching humbucker territory.
04Does it come with a neck pickup?
No. This is the bridge pickup on its own.
