Seymour Duncan unleashes "brutal" Wes Hauch Jupiter 6-String humbucker
Pickup features dual stainless-steel rail poles and ceramic magnet, and is available for bridge and neck positions
Seymour Duncan first teamed up with former The Faceless guitarist Wes Hauch in 2019 for the Custom Shop Jupiter 7-String Rails bridge position pickup.
Now the company has unveiled a six-string version of the “brutal” humbucker, available for both neck and bridge positions.
The passive rails humbucker set features dual stainless-steel rail poles, a ceramic magnet and a finely tuned high output wind.
The result, according to Seymour Duncan, is a pickup pair that “delivers aggressive mid-range attack, evenly balanced string response and focused clarity.”
The Jupiter 6-String Humbucker is available for $129 for individual bridge or neck pickups or $249 for the set.
