They are worth every penny. I run them through a 6505+ and an EVH 5150iii 50w EL34 and they are incredible. Easily the most articulate pickups I’ve ever heard with the perfect amount of hotness. Do it!
I've always thought blade style humbuckers like SD Dimebuckers and Dimarzio D Activators look awesome, so I'm all for these. Plus Wes Hauch is a riff machine.
I like how they actually are ice picky. Not saying they are same as dimebuckers but it's pretty possible they are dimebuckers with a bit less output. Also if anyone thinks dimebuckers are muddy or sound too harsh just lower them and add a boost in front.
I don’t know if what’s all just the picks ups, or the amp or the actual mic’d cab, but these tones perked up my ears more than your other videos! Me likey!
Jupiter 7 is single-handedly the greatest 7 humbucker I’ve ever played. Dynamics are incredible and it sounds unlike any other pickup I’ve ever played. Insane midrange!!
As soon as Wes decided to go with a rail instead of pole pieces the gear nerds were ready to claim that the pickup was just a modded Dimebucker. Those people have clearly never played a Jupiter, or a Dimebucker.
But this pickup was based off of a Dimebucker design and then they had tons of improvements over it. I personally can still here some Dimebucker vibe going on. Way better but still not my cup of tea.
Bill Lawrence invented the rails pickup designs in the 70's. The Dimebucker was made because Dimebag lost contact with Bill Lawrence when Bill lost the rights to Bill Lawrence USA. Bill Lawrence's original Twin Blades are still better than the Dimebucker and this pickup because Bill Lawrence pickups (Wylde Pickups) give a full spectrum tonal response instead of the sculpted tones you get from the boutique makers like DImarzio and Seymour Duncan and the less famous but more expensive 'boutique' winders. I strongly stronlgy suggest you look at Wylde pickups before you buy any rails designs from any boutique winder because they will be inferior to Bill Lawrence's full spectrum designs and believe me the L500XL by Bill Lawrence pickups is way better than the Dimebucker and the l500XL is the actual pickup DImebag used on Pantera albums. It was not until Damageplan that he switched to the thinner sounding Dimebucker.
@@toddwilliamson2651 wrong. Dime used the dimebucker on the last Pantera album, and I disagree with you. The 500 xl is a better all around pup, but the dimebucker is better for heavy riffs.

I love the in depth review you did here on this pickups. I have been wanting to hear the jupiters for a while now. Do you think you would ever try out the PRS metal pickups? They are pretty cheap compared to the other ones and PRS hasn't updated the pickups you can buy on their store for a long time now. Would love to hear them in 2021 to see if they still hold up.
Thanks man. Was between these and the dimebucker for a 1990 Charvel and was worried about the harshness I’ve heard from dimebucker users. Jupiter 6 it is.
Yeah, the Apocalypse is sick, the upper end Schecters seem very Mayones-like. I prefer the Apocalypse pickups to a lot of other stuff I've tried too, they remind me of BKP Warpigs
Bill Lawrence (Wylde Pickups) invented this design and his pickups are still light years ahead of these and anybody else who makes them. With a Bill Lawrence pickup you get a full spectrum tonal response instead of the sculpted tones you get from todays winders. With a full spectrum response you can use your amp and guitar tone controls to sculpt your tone to whatever you want, instead of being forced to compensate for frequencies that have been sculpted out of the pickup.
Not surprised these played nicely with the Rev G since tonally they sound like they already have an overdrive applied while played straight. Really help tighten up that loose recto gain channel.
So I have these 3 guitars that I have had for 15 some years. They need some serieus maintenance. I'm buing 3 sets of D'Addario EXL110 nickle wound light strings. But I was looking at the hot rail pickups aswell, because my favorite guitar player uses them for all kinds of sounds! (Mickey Melchiondo) Guitar 1: Black 2002 Squier SHOWMASTER. This is by far the most interesting guitar that I own but have NEVER played. This thing has 24 frets on a rosewood board, reverse headstock, super strat style layout, with a Floyd Rose bridge. And it also has these 3 screws on top of the neck that lock the strings or something. Now I know how to play guitar, but I resisted getting into all the technicality of it all. I never played this guitar because It was missing 2 strings and I never got it in tune?? But a month ago as I was playing away I saw this beauty standing in the corner of the room collecting dust and something in my brain clicked. This is an absolute 'guitar' rights violation, an incredible injustice to have that thing standing there because it eyes like it has a lot of potential! Unfortunately because of the lockdown I can't bring this baby to a guitar shop so I'm left on my own to figure out what exactly this thing is. I only just now figured out all the termonology for the guitar parts that I'm an absolutely unfamiliar with. It also seems that this guitar is quite a rare find. Almost nobody chooses to play these and I have a very very specific model within the showmaster branch. The question: On the seymour duncan webpage I found Hot rails in the form of humbuckers - Jupiter Rails & Dimebucker - and I want to know if it's worth putting those in the showmaster? That would replace the current humbucker - which I have read are worthless - and it would leave the two single row pick ups - which might also be worth replacing? - inorder to get a sound that's close to Mickey Melchiondo's strat which uses seymour duncan hot rails pickups. The Second Question: How do I tune a Floyd Rose Bridge..... and what's with the 3 screw clam thingies on the top of the fretboard? Guitar 2: a very weird Indonesian 2004 squier that I can't exactly backtrack. Can't find any similair models. Serial: IC041238631. This thing also has a humbucker that I seek to replace with a Hot rail style humbucker - Jupier Rails & dimebucker are my options. It features a stock single pickup that I might then also want to replace. I love playing this one because the fretboard is wider than the usual electric guitar, it handles similair to my acoustics. Guitar 3: This guitar has always been my main and I love it. A red 2005 chinese Squier Tele affinity. Now I kinda love the sound of this one but I'm curious as to what I can do with this bad boy. Put in the Seymour Duncan Hot Rails Pick up tele in the bridge, but can I then switch out the vintage neck pick up for a strat pick up? Or is that not possible or does the tele then lose to much character? One pick up that I left out was the Hot P-Rails. Which might also still be an option.
These sound awesome. I also never really liked the dimebucker. It looks really cool but it has wayyy too much treble for me. I'd love to drop these in my baritone and see how they handle A or B tuning.
I dropped these in to replace the Schecter Colossus/Chaosbreaker combo, and I find these to have significantly less bite and snarl, but somehow they really rip. I'm still trying to figure out why. It's almost like they respond to attack velocity more than anything else I've used, even under high gain channels (I do not have a huge library of PUPs to compare, but just an observation).
Wes Hauch is a national treasure. His Layla cover rips so fucking hard. This guy is up there with Tosin, Richard Henshall, Nick Johnston, Wes Thrailkill, Dustie Waring and Charlie Griffiths (and a few more) as the new guard of extreme badasses.
I just got the S.D. Nazgul & Sentient ......The Nazgul ....Im going thru a 6505 Eminence 1x12 .... It has made playing Fun again, I can leave momentarily to an undisclosed rhealm while playing again. Im use to X2N & JB Kent Armstrong ... To my ears, this pickup sounds BETTER than the BK BareKnuckle pickup. More attack & clearity yet beefy as "cool cuss word". I have never in my life had THIS much metal Tone as what I have now, I do love the look of the rails, but .......just stating my tone. I get from CCR steppenwolf to Tool to Ride the Lightning EVH to Death metal Doom. wHAT U HAVE THERE SOUNDS GOOD. But I dont think I will look for another "better" pickup for Atleast a decade!!
I'd like to see you do one of Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates...Might have already and know they're over 20 years old. Always enjoyed Flavika from Drain Sth's sound and I know she used them👍
I watched your video on that baritone last night because I'm torn between that and the PRS version. (BTW if anyone has experience with either lmk please and thank you) Happy to know that you kept this for demos like you said
Yeah, I agree, MOST SS alloys are non magnetic. However it depends on the exact alloy used because there ARE a few alloys that do react magnetically. It's possible that SD has used a magnetic alloy. I intend to order a set for one of my guitars so I'll check it thence.
just put the bridge pickup in my little LTD esp h 51. the clear tone is great. now I need to find a neck pickup. still running the stock alpha pots. looking to get to see more Duncan's does anybody have any experience changing the pots and what difference it makes?
4:30 the blade provides a nice broad big and squishy field coverage so that you can have the low output pickup grab up all the nuances. Put lighter gauge strings on and you'll get even more out of them. This pickup is more about *magnetic field design* than brute forcing spectral density absorption across a irregular/inconsistent field by making them super hot. If you use a noise gate you might be able to get away from it a little with these pickups.
yeah honestly there are way cheaper and probably almost as good options on the market right now. Not that these pickups are bad at all, but there's an oversaturated market already.
As well as I like some of the more expansive Duncan's (I love my black winter, I long wanted a pair of Seth lovers and or antiquities) I think they really overdo it sometimes. This here is akin to the ripoff that is the EMG Het-Set (in being VERY expansive for what they are compared to the more basic standard variants). That's even more ridiculous with all the really great cheap Pickups you can buy nowadays. I long tend to the opinion that anything over 60 bucks for a pickup (either second hand or import far Eastern brand like GFS or Tonerider) is throwing away money. Kinda what fluff said in his aftermarket PU video: what can a expansive PU do, what my 50 bucks used JB with a boost pedal can't?
Both of my JBs are 15.7K. For reference Old School DiMarzio Super Distortions are 12.1k. Newer 13 k range. They are ceramic too. So these are hotter than those.
I want to put these pickups in my Schecter OMEN 7 Extreme. Just curious if the coup tap would sound good or not. Might switch the tone knob to a killswitch.
I have an Epiphone Dot Studio, it has the center block so it can handle any pickups. The stock pickups are muddy so I think these might be what I’m looking for.
Epiphones stock pus, the imfamous Mudbuckers, are basically the worst Humbuckers you get nowadays in any guitar. Any aftermarket PU will be a great improvement. Don't want to shit on these PUs here, but they are veeeeery expensive. You could totally go with a used set of Duncan's (59 and JB for example) for hundred bucks and still have a much much improved classic humbucker sound.
What do you mean by specs? Magnet types and outputs? I'm curious, as I've heard this from one other social media source, and I personally have no way to compare the two.
These p'ups make me think that a cool innovation would be hjmbuckers whose coils could be mechanically adjusted along their shared centerline so you can install them at an angle (mostly for multiscale guitars).
I think for angling your pickups, the best bet in the end is to just swap that backplate. I don't think it's too complex a job: removal, decoupling the pair, regrounding, sealing. If I had a large library of guitars, I would test this out on something low end. Tried to do that yet?
SD's website says the DC Resistance is 17.8k. Not 14.2k as stated in this video. It isn't really accurate to use resistance to measure how "hot" a pickup is. Go look how low the resistance is on a Bareknuckle Black Hawk. Larger wire (used to wrap) will decrease resistance without reducing output.
Hey Fluff, so I’m pretty new to guitar with my epiphone lp special 2, and I know it’s not worth upgrading pickups in, but my question is how do you know when your guitar is worth upgrading like that? I feel like a guitar that would be worth that should be already pretty pricey and already come with some good pickups, so why bother upgrading?
I know I'm not fluff but basically once you find a guitar you like the feel of but don't necessarily like the sound of, that's when you can go and start looking for replacement pickups, that's just my advice
Different enough to notice, I would say. Nazgul are a bit of a standard high output, high snarl passive. These sound more responsive to attack with a more refined mid band.
@@WhiteBoyFunk thank you! I've since gone with a Cauterizer bridge pu from the Guitarmory for my 27". It's all I wanted in a pickup for sure! Aggressive and defined. I appreciate the comment 🤘🏼
I’d say yes,the BLUSA l500xl pickup is designed like the original l500L not xl it’s not as hot but still is a solid pickup. I have one in my Flying V flipped just like dimebag
they sound to me like an emg 85 crossbred with a BK painkiller.......lots of mid range but i feel like the body of that low end is kind of thrown out the window...…. it gives it more of a punk rock tone. you probably have the best tone set for it fluff but these still just do not do anything for me.
One simply doesnt "know the guys over at Seymour Duncan" Unless ofcoarse they live in the same town. Schecter so needs to make the Apocalypse Non floyd with Sustainiac.

The Alloy in these must be magnetic still, because you get the tap effect when you touch the string to the rails directly.

Hey Fluff, FAQ Question. List your favourite high gain amps for shredy solos and liquid leads.

SD's website says the DC Resistance is 17.8k. Not 14.2k as stated in this video. It isn't really accurate to use resistance to measure how "hot" a pickup is. Go look how low the resistance is on a Bareknuckle Black Hawk. Larger wire (used to wrap) will decrease resistance without reducing output.
They must have updated it because Duncan's site says the bridge has a 14.27k resistance now.
"Omg they're so clear."
"Nice response!"
"They really clean up at like volumes..."
"Sounds good for clean and dirty!"
Am I close?
Nope
@@RiffsAndBeards rip🍞
I’m not a blade guy but damm these sound good
I want that shirt
my brain is melting trying to remember what the riff at 6:30 is
They sound crisp
Thanks for sharing Fluff...it would've been nice to hear them playing something a bit heavier...jus sayin.
that is such a nice guitar holy shit
Ahhh there's the Fluff i know and ❤
Hey Fluff, so I’m pretty new to guitar with my epiphone lp special 2, and I know it’s not worth upgrading pickups in, but my question is how do you know when your guitar is worth upgrading like that? I feel like a guitar that would be worth that should be already pretty pricey and already come with some good pickups, so why bother upgrading?
I know I'm not fluff but basically once you find a guitar you like the feel of but don't necessarily like the sound of, that's when you can go and start looking for replacement pickups, that's just my advice
Are these passive pickups?
Yes
These vs nazguls?
Different enough to notice, I would say. Nazgul are a bit of a standard high output, high snarl passive. These sound more responsive to attack with a more refined mid band.
@@WhiteBoyFunk thank you! I've since gone with a Cauterizer bridge pu from the Guitarmory for my 27". It's all I wanted in a pickup for sure! Aggressive and defined. I appreciate the comment 🤘🏼
Are they better than a $54 dollar bill lawrence?
I’d say yes,the BLUSA l500xl pickup is designed like the original l500L not xl it’s not as hot but still is a solid pickup. I have one in my Flying V flipped just like dimebag
i like the name jupiter
its like having a own signatur pickup set :D
gets happy for new pickups :-) , puts them in a baritone :-(
Stainless steel rails? I thought stainless was non ferrous (non magnetic).
I've seen another pointing this out. I wonder how the magnetism works here.
that mix tone was FILTHY. like made me wonder how one got that tone out of a recto. very nice.
It's Wes to be Hauch
Thrice!
As long as they're not 500 Hz mid heavy
Will. It. Chug? Yes, yes it does
Hi Ola
Got the 666 likes!! 🤘🏻👹🤘🏻
I have a Dimebucker and I like it but really want to get away from it.
they sound to me like an emg 85 crossbred with a BK painkiller.......lots of mid range but i feel like the body of that low end is kind of thrown out the window...…. it gives it more of a punk rock tone.
you probably have the best tone set for it fluff but these still just do not do anything for me.
#chnk
Awesome shirt! Agree on Dimebuckers... I love the dude but never liked his tone.
One simply doesnt "know the guys over at Seymour Duncan" Unless ofcoarse they live in the same town. Schecter so needs to make the Apocalypse Non floyd with Sustainiac.
Still reminds me of the Dimebucker too much although it's not that bad. Hard pass, but thanks for this demo.
Who?
