Description

Finally, a neck humbucker that doesn't turn to mush when you dig in hard, even with chords. Aggressive and thick, but with superb clarity, the Chisel sets a new standard for heavy rock and metal. Unlike the competition, you can dial in a tight clear tone on the wound strings without the plain strings sounding thin or sterile. And the Chisel has loads of character... rich in harmonics, touch sensitive, and armed with an upper-mid attack that cuts like a knife. If you want your riffs to be heard loud and clear, this is your tool. And like all Railhammers, the extra clarity on the wound strings means they also work great with low tuned guitars.

Railhammer Chisel Neck Humbucker – review – Lone Phantom

lonephantom.com

The Railhammer Chisel Neck Humbucker offers a refreshing blend of clarity and warmth, making it an excellent choice for both clean and distorted tones. Its unique design with thin rails and fat pole-pieces ensures a balanced sound, avoiding muddiness. While it lacks the immediate attack of its bridge counterpart, it compensates with a sweet, full-bodied tone that remains clear and defined. The pickup excels in versatility, handling everything from aggressive rock to soulful blues with ease. Constructed with high-quality materials, the Chisel neck humbucker is not just a sonic triumph but also environmentally conscious in its packaging.

"It's an ESP Viper 1000 and currentlly it has Railhammer pickups in it. And you know it came with EMG's, I've played EMG's for a long time, I like the EMG's but I just wanted to try something else? So now I have the Railhammers in it, I've tried some Lace pickups but so far the Railhammers are really cool. They're very thick pickups and they're passive which is kind of a different thing but they sound active so they're really good."
