Roswell Pickups SHR Neck & Center Black Humbucker Pickup

Hot Rail Blade Humbucker Pickup for Neck & Center Position

The Roswell Pickups SHR Neck & Center Black is a single-sized hot rail blade humbucker for the neck and center slots of an electric guitar. This rail-format design uses a single blade as the pole piece for a smooth, screw-free top profile. Engineered for high-gain applications, it delivers tight, focused output suited to heavy metal and modern rock.

What Sets the SHR Rail Humbucker Apart

What sets this pickup apart is its rail-blade construction paired with a ceramic bar magnet — a configuration that captures string vibration evenly across the entire pickup length. Bends and vibrato stay articulate without the volume dips common with traditional pole-piece designs. The 4-conductor shielded output wire supports flexible wiring including coil-split options.

Construction and Magnet Configuration

The rail humbucker format and ceramic bar magnet produce a tight, focused tone with strong output.

• Type: Rail Hum — single-blade pole piece format with no visible pole screws
• Magnet: Ceramic Bar — bright, aggressive magnetic field for high-gain tones
• Position — designed for neck and center slots on standard humbucker-routed guitars, giving players a focused voice for rhythm work and clean tones

Electrical Output and Wiring

DC resistance and output wiring shape how the pickup interacts with the guitar's electronics.

• DC Resistance: 12.2 kΩ — high-output reading for thick, saturated tone
• Output Wire: 4-Conductor Shielded — supports coil-split, series, and parallel wiring
• Approximate Weight: 119 g — balanced for direct humbucker replacement

Mounting and Installation

The SHR ships with hardware for standard humbucker mounting, making it a drop-in upgrade.

• Mounting Screws: 2× Phillips round head #6-32×20 mm — standard humbucker hardware
• Springs: 2× 10 mm rubber spring — included for height adjustment
• Assembly Number: AH008 — Roswell internal reference for this configuration
