Detail 01
4-conductor cable
Both coils' ends come out separately, so a push-pull pot or mini switch can select P90, rail, or both.

Seymour DuncanSHPR-1n P-Rails - Neck Pickup Cream
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Two-coil neck pickup pairing a P90-style coil with a rail coil, wired 4-conductor. For players who want several voices out of one pickup slot.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Getting P90 grind and hum-cancelling quiet from a single position
- Guitars where you'd rather add switching than swap pickups again
- Clean, dynamic neck tones that stay clear under gain
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Simple wiring — separate coil voices need an added switch
- High-output players; 5.60k is a low-output neck wind
- Bridge position, since 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
5.60k ohms DC resistance
Low output. Stays clean and responsive at the neck, where hotter pickups turn muddy under gain.
Detail 03
Two Alnico V bar magnets
Alnico V is the stronger, brighter grade — firm lows and clear attack rather than soft vintage warmth.
Detail 04
7.0kHz resonant peak
Top end rolls off before it turns glassy, keeping neck tones round instead of thin.
Detail 05
P90-format coil
A wider, shorter coil reads a broader section of string: thicker than a single-coil, more open than a humbucker.
Detail 06
Neck-position wind
Wound lower than a bridge unit because strings swing wider over the neck, which would otherwise muddy the output.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your route and mounting fit a humbucker-size pickup before ordering
- 02Sold singly — a matching bridge unit is a separate purchase
- 03All the voices need a push-pull pot or switch, not included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I have to rewire my guitar?
Only for the extra voices. Wired straight it works as a hum-cancelling pickup; a push-pull pot or mini switch is what lets you use the P90 coil or rail coil alone.
02Is it as loud as a regular humbucker?
No. At 5.60k it's low output, so it stays clean and clear rather than pushing the front end of the amp hard.
03Will it hum?
With both coils running together it cancels hum. Using the P90 coil or the rail coil on its own is single-coil operation, so some noise returns.
04Can I put it in the bridge?
It's wound for the neck — lower output with a rounder top end. In the bridge it would sound thin and quiet next to a bridge-spec pickup.
