Detail 01
Rails instead of pole pieces
The blade reads the string along its full travel, so bends and vibrato stay even in volume.

Seymour DuncanSVR-1 Vintage Rails Guitar Pickup White Bridge
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A humbucker built to fit a single-coil slot. For Strat or Tele players who want thicker output without routing the body.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Strat players chasing a fatter bridge tone without a pickguard swap
- Adding hum cancellation to a noisy single-coil bridge position
- Direct drop-in upgrades where routing the body is off the table
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want the glassy, quacky Strat bridge sound preserved
- Guitars already routed for a full-size humbucker
- Anyone needing a solder-free install
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
Humbucking in a single-coil footprint
Two coils cancel the 60-cycle hum that a standard single coil picks up near amps and screens.
Detail 03
Bridge position
Wound hotter than a neck unit to compensate for the tighter, quieter string movement near the bridge.
Detail 04
White cover
Matches white and parchment pickguards; will stand out against black or tortoise unless you swap the guard.
Detail 05
Single-coil sized housing
Drops into an existing Strat or Tele bridge cavity with no woodwork.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Pickup only. No pots, switch, wire or pickguard included.
- 02Requires soldering, or a tech's time, to install.
- 03Confirm your bridge rout is standard single-coil sized before ordering.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Strat without routing?
Yes. It's built to single-coil dimensions, so it drops into a standard Strat or Tele bridge cavity as-is.
02Does it actually cancel hum?
Yes. It's a two-coil humbucking design in a single-coil shell, so it rejects the 60-cycle buzz a true single coil picks up.
03Can I put it in the neck position?
This is the bridge version, wound for the bridge. In the neck it will sound louder and darker than intended.
04Do I need new pots or a different switch?
It works with standard guitar wiring. No specific pot value or switch change is required for a straight swap.
