How Did This Slip Under The Radar? Wes Hauch "Jupiter" Set for 6-String!

[Masta' C]

Super-stoked that a 6-string version of the Wes Hauch signature "Jupiter" bridge and neck humbuckers have been released, apparently silently, by SD!

This is officially the first dual-rail 6-string pickup to come out of Duncan since the Dimebucker in the '90s!

Not sure if these are proper production models or not, but street price is mid-way between production and Custom Shop.

Guess who bought the first one with the help of his extra eBay bucks? {This Guy} :cool2:

I missed this too. Is it in certain markets? I hadn't seen anything on social media, either.

BanjoMikez is selling them and he's here in the U.S.

Not sure what the story is, but I've been hoping for a 6-string model since the 7-string version came out!

Rail pickups rock and Seymour Duncan rail pickups are even better!

Are the rails curved just a bit like on the 7-string versions?,,,,or flat like the dime?

Could it be a dealer special batch? I saw some dealers stock some pickups in shop floor custom versions, like white bobbin Black Winters.

@dave 74: on the demo videos I watched it lokked like the rails are curved/arched, not flush with the bobbin surface.

Maybe!

I also grabbed the matching neck, just 'cause. I'll let you know what specs I can figure out once they arrive

I'll be curious to know more. I'm a sucker for high-output rails and double-screws.

BTW Ijust realized that I cannot read properly... Of course I saw NO demo of the 6 string, I was being really smart and stated things about the 7 string model, whn in reality the question was clearly about the 6...

That's exactly what Mike does. He looks for color and option combinations that other people don't have. I haven't been in the shop for around a year now. It's still there, but never open the times I can get there.

That's actually a pretty smart business move, I like it a lot. Win-win, everyone's happy.

UPDATE: Banjomikez got back to me. He says that, as far as he knows, this is a standard pickup offering that has been available for order by dealers since the end of last month!

So, it's NOT a small-batch/limited-run item that's exclusive to him, which is sort of exciting!

I figured that might be the case since they didn't come with basic "shop floor custom" packaging

Thanks for investigating. With so little news coming out of the music industry as a whole, this is a welcome addition!

I have no idea who that is, but I imagine it's potentially insulting to the artist to release a signature model and not even bother to advertise it.

I'm in favor of more rail pickups though. They look so cool. I've never used one (other than EMGs and single coil sized humbuckers) but the more rail pickups there are, the better chance of one fitting my needs.

How is this thing supposed to sound?

Keep in mind, though, that there is no summer NAMM this year, and the big trade shows is where this sort of thing is announced. So other companies may come out with new stuff this time of year, too...or may have cancelled product development for awhile because the loss in revenue due to being shut down.

Technically, this article is talking about the 7-string version, but it does have some info.
