Description
Warman Twin Loco Hot Rail Humbucker Pickup. Full twin coil blade / rail humbucking pickup that fits in place of a standard single coil *.. 4 wire so can be tapped as a hot single coil. Chrome rail version wound onto white bobbins.
High end replacement humbucker pickup putting out a huge 9.86 Henries and measuring a resistance of 14.1k this is one of our most powerful upgrade pickups.
Basically its a super overwound humbucker stacked and squeezed into a housing the size of a standard single coil. The two coils side by side produce a huge amount of power and tone with no loss of mids or highs with ooddles of bottom end.
Our own unique 4 way wire output enables you to wire it up as a powerful single coil, or unleash both coils either in series or parallel for some serious tonal options.
Suitable for use in neck, middle or bridge positions this is a perfect partner to our Warman Dominator if you wanted either a fat Strat type look but with far more tonal combinations of a H-S-S set up.
Being a blade type pickup it can be used on a wide variety of string spans and in either bridge, mid or neck as the blades are 62mm wide.
The Twin Loco is also popular with many bass guitarists. Although primarily a hot rail for 6 strings we have had loads of bassists use these to rump up the thump.
* Please note although a widely known fact that Tele neck pickups are not standard size single coils but are smaller and differ to Strat type single coils for the avoidance of doubt to the uninformed Twin Locos will not fit in place of a standard Tele neck pickup without modification to your guitar.
Warman® Guitars produces high-value humbucker and single coil pickups designed for guitarists who want powerful tone, reliable electronics, and upgrade-level performance without boutique pickup prices.

Just fitted the Twin Loco to my Bronco. The result is a BEAST.
The output on this pickup is huge, bass is deep and well defined, mids are a classic hollow and highs are not too brittle.
Thanks to the guys at Warman for creating this amazing pickup and at such an amazing price!
I’ve fitted a coil tap as well to give even more tones.

Installed a Twin Loco Hot Rail in the bridge position of a Harley Benton ST-62 Strat. Wasn’t expecting much for £21 but blown away by how good it is! As the blurb says, I can’t put it down!
Unlike the slightly more expensive Irongear Jailrail set I’d bought and removed after a week (nicely balanced, medium output but IMO bland, not what I was looking for) this is far more like a SD Hotrails – massive punch, clear defined chug for days, juicy leads. Better still, it cleans up nicely which is more than can be said for the one-trick-pony (albeit a great trick) SD Hotrails. A chunky humbucker with just a hint of Strat single coil character still coming through.
A huge leap up in quality from the stock Roswell pickups that came with the Harley Benton, and indeed comparable to big brand pickups on some of my other guitars in terms of great note definition and tone.
I liked this so much I ordered a Peacemaker to go in the neck position and they’re a perfect match, particularly with coil splits on both.
I hope Warman offer 7- and 8-string pickups in the future because there’s a couple of ER guitars on my wall that could benefit from upgrading.
