Railhammer Guitar Pickups

Every musician wants their riffs to sound clear and powerful, and a Railhammer guitar pickup is designed to help you do just that. Railhammers were created by award-winning industry veteran Joe Naylor and feature a rich, organic tone with tight lows and fat highs that make them a popular choice of casual and professional players all over the world. Used by artists like Jason Krause from Kid Rock, Addison Matthew of Hour of the Wolf, Alex Asch of Dangerkids, and Alex Bailey of Sylosis, these powerful devices can really make your instrument come to life.

A pickup is the device that senses the vibrations of the guitar strings to create a signal. Railhammer focuses on humbuckers, which are pickups with two coils per string, allowing the magnets to cancel out background noise and send more power to your amp. And since these devices provide a warmer, heavier tone, they are very popular among hard rock and metal musicians. Railhammer offers a diverse selection of renowned pickups like the top-rated Chisel humbucker, which has a razor sharp upper-mid attack that makes you heard loud and clear. Designed with rails under the wound strings, they reduce note smearing and muddiness by sensing a narrower section of the string.

Another great choice is the best-selling Railhammer Gnarly 90 Humbucker, a vintage-inspired pickup with fat lower mids, raw attack, and greasy tone, making it a great choice for blues and classic artists. With similar features to the Chisel, this pickup has a full metal cover for slightly quieter tone, so it's ideal for smaller venues and arenas.

You naturally want your guitar setup to be a well-oiled machine with many aspects working together to produce your singular sound. Although small in size, a good pickup is a crucial component of your playing style, so it's important to take some time to research your options. Once you uncover the perfect Railhammer guitar pickup, you can feel confident you have the tools to help make your music better than ever.
