Pickup Overview
A high-output humbucker that fits a Stratocaster single-coil slot — punchy, clear, and 4-wire for full switching flexibility.
The Jailhouse Rail II uses dual rail blades with a Y30 ceramic magnet, giving it the full string sensing of a humbucker without the body-rout work. Great for high-gain rock, modern blues, or any Strat owner who wants serious bridge power.
Available in Black as standard.

What Players Are Saying
"The Jailhouse Rail is without a doubt the best pickup I have ever heard. All the low-end grunt you could ever want, but with a super-smooth and creamy high-mid response. Tracks my pick strokes perfectly." — Davey, West Lothian
"The split-coil tones are surprisingly Strat-like and the full-bucker mode absolutely roars. Easily the best Strat-bridge upgrade I've done." — Strat owner
"Drops in, doesn't need any rout work, sounds like a Les Paul bridge in your Strat. Game-changer." — Custom Strat build
"Really impressed with how clean it sounds when you wind the volume down — proper hot pickup but it stays musical." — Modern Player owner
