Detail 01
P-90 coil plus rail coil in one housing
Each coil is a different pickup type, so switching between them changes character, not just output level.

Seymour DuncanSHPR-2b P-Rails Hot Bridge Pickup Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Bridge pickup that puts a P-90 and a rail humbucker side by side in one humbucker-sized route. For players who want both sounds from one guitar.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who want single-coil and humbucker bridge tones without swapping guitars
- Guitars already routed for a standard humbucker at the bridge
- Anyone wiring a push-pull or blade switch for multiple coil combinations
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want one voice and a simple two-wire install
- Guitars with only single-coil or P-90 routes, without new routing
- Anyone unwilling to wire switching to access the pickup's modes
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
Hot bridge version
Wound hotter than the standard P-Rails bridge. Pushes an amp into breakup sooner and thickens the humbucker mode.
Detail 03
Humbucker-sized
Drops into a standard humbucker route and mounting ring without cutting wood.
Detail 04
Both coils together run humbucking
Series mode cancels hum. Running the P-90 coil alone brings single-coil hum back.
Detail 05
Black cover-less design
Both coils are exposed and visible, so the look reads as two pickups in one slot.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Pickup only. No pots, switches, or wire beyond the pickup lead.
- 02Full mode access needs multi-position switching, not a standard single-volume wiring.
- 03Bridge spacing matters. Check your string spread against the pole spacing.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need to route my guitar for this?
Not if you already have a standard humbucker route at the bridge. It fits the same opening and mounting ring.
02What's the difference between this and the regular P-Rails bridge?
This is the hot version, wound with more output. It hits the front end of an amp harder and sounds thicker in humbucker mode.
03Can I use it without any switching?
Yes, wired straight to volume it runs as a humbucker. You lose the P-90 and rail modes but it works.
04Is there a matching neck pickup?
Seymour Duncan makes P-Rails in a neck version. Pairing them gives you the same mode options at both positions.
