Seymour DuncanSHPR-1n P-Rails - Neck Pickup Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Neck pickup wired 4-conductor, with two Alnico V bar magnets and a low 5.60k output. For players who want more than one voice from a single position.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players adding a push-pull or mini toggle for coil switching
- Neck slot where note clarity matters more than raw output
- Clean and edge-of-breakup amp settings, given the low output
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players chasing a thick, high-output neck lead tone
- Anyone wanting a two-wire, drop-in solder job
- Bridge position — this one is wound for the neck
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
7.0kHz resonant peak
The peak sits high, so top end stays present instead of rolling off into mud in the neck position.
Detail 03
Two Alnico V bar magnets
Alnico V is the stronger alnico grade — firmer lows and a defined pick attack rather than a soft, loose feel.
Detail 04
4-conductor cable
Both coils are separately accessible, so you can wire splits or series/parallel switching instead of one fixed sound.
Detail 05
P90 configuration
A P90-format coil is wider than a narrow single-coil, so it senses a longer stretch of the string.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No pots, switch, or wiring harness included — buy those separately
- 02Getting more than one mode needs a push-pull pot or extra switch
- 03Soldering required: four conductors plus shield, not a two-wire swap
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the neck or the bridge version?
Neck. It reads 5.60k ohms, wound for the neck position. The bridge version is a separate part.
02Do I need a special switch to use it?
Not to make it work — wired plain it runs off standard controls. A push-pull pot or mini toggle is what unlocks the other coil options the 4-conductor cable allows.
03Will it fit my guitar?
It's a P90-format pickup, so the route and mounting have to match a P90 opening. Compare it to the pickup already in the guitar before ordering.
04Is it hot enough for high-gain playing?
At 5.60k it sits on the low side. It stays clear and cleans up well, but players pushing heavy gain usually want more output at the neck.
