Do you rock? If you think you do, read on. Designer and guitar industry veteran Joe Naylor (Reverend Guitars, Naylor Amps, All-Tone Speakers, Armor Gold Cables) has launched a new line of pickups aimed at the rock market. According to the designer, the new Railhammer pickups feature a patent-pending design that takes advantage of a unique combination of rails and poles in order to deliver perfect tonal balance with tight lows and fat highs.

Naylor provides the following information on Railhammer pickups:

Thin rails under the wound strings sense only a narrow section of string, reducing note smearing and muddiness. The resulting tone allows aggressive fast riffs and palm muting to be defined, clear, and cut  through the mix.

Oversize 6 mm diameter poles under the plain strings sense a wide section of string, increasing thickness and sustain. This fatter tone keeps the plain strings sounding fluid and full.

The unique tonal balance allows the player to adjust his or her amp for a tight percussive tone on the wound strings without the plain strings sounding thin, harsh, or sterile.

The current line includes five different humbucker models: Hyper Vintage-Bridge, Hyper Vintage-Neck, Chisel-Bridge, Chisel-Neck, and Anvil-Bridge. All pickups feature height-tapered steel rails, 6 mm diameter steel poles, polycarbonate bobbins, six screw German Silver baseplate, vacuum wax potted coils, alnico 5 or ceramic magnet (depending on model), four-conductor wiring with independent ground, and universal spacing that works with most any guitar. You can check the specs for each model at the Railhammer Web site.
