can the hot rails pickup work a others guitars (for Example the jackson soloest)cause my jackson takes 2 hum. and 1 single coil and i bought tat but can is be used on it
I've got a Hot Rails in the neck of my Charvel 650xl which is a Soloist clone. It gives out some of the best shred metal lead tones I've heard this side of a Distoriton neck pickup.
Most guitars use the same size of pickups... it's like there are some standards... look a the dimensions of the hotrails an d compare it to your pup... then you'll see
It should work...besides, there is always the return policy.
"The Seymour Duncan Company is highly dedicated to its customers and their tonal needs. The twenty-one day "no questions asked" return policy, which is available in the U.S. and select countries guarantees that you find the perfect pickup for your guitar, even if it isn't on your first try!" Why Choose SD
I'm assuming its in the middle position that you want to swop out your single coil for the hotrails. That guitar will certainly be a potent weapon! Probably no smooth jazzy runs demanded... rock on!
I have a hot rails in the middle position of my Predator. It's not going to be exactly like your Jackson, but it sounds good. It was a little bass heavy on mine until I backed it away from the strings a little (probably closer to the recommended height!).
If it´s an early Ontario Jackson or a Charvel Model Series (or even a pre-´94 Professional Jackson), you´ll have to file off the "nose" that holds the wiring...on newer jacksons, it should fit with no problems.
And what´s funny is, I don´t search the DUncan Forum for Jackson or the JCF for Duncan, but somehow I almost always manage to see the threads, no matter how little I think I could add by the title
I bought a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails from the ebay. its white in color. It does not say 'Seymour Duncan' on it. Am I buying a real one or a fake ? Is any of your hot rails white in color and does not have the company logo on them ?
I even saw one hotrail in zebra!
Hotrails arein black and white - (it would be senseless if it wouldn't be avaiable in white, because it's meant for strats) and till the mid 90's (i think so?) ALL Duncans have been WITHOUT Logo.
You should look at the colours of the wire (green, black, white, red).
Ya know, I've never used one, but I find this pickup to be quite rude. Jackson Guitars Rule asked it a question nearly a week ago, and it has yet to reply! :smack:
