Railhammer Pickups officially launched in January 2012. In a very short time, Railhammer pickups have gained more than just recognition, they’ve gained a following of discerning players who believe in taking their tone to the next level. They’ve also amassed an impressive roster of touring artists, a true testament to the game-changing Railhammer design.
The Railhammer design was inspired by Joe’s personal tone quest. Which ultimately led to the innovation of rails under the wound strings for tight clear lows and poles under the plain strings for fat singing highs. From concept to development, Joe’s objective was to create the best sounding and most sonically balanced pickups on the planet. Through a lot of hard work, costly tooling, and tireless testing, he managed to realize his vision.
Joe had a goal from the very beginning to take passive guitar pickups to a new level of performance. Giving guitar players the ability to achieve the elusive tones they’d been searching for. And, while you might not be on our artist roster yet, this applies to you too.
The unique combination of rails under the wound strings and poles under the plain strings gives you tighter lows, fatter highs and a warm clarity you won’t find in any other passive pickup. It’s perfect tonal balance with no compromises.
The Railhammer Humbucker Pickups are the classic recipe that Joe Naylor has reimagined with all the sonic flavors you could as for.
Railhammer Humcutter Pickups deliver the unmistakable vintage tone and clarity of P90 Pickups, with a revolutionary dual coil design that gives you the perfect balance of P90 tone, without any of the hum!

From his communication, transparency, knowledge and then the top level upgrade he did to my bass. Thank you so much. Recommended! Dave Madden21 March 2025 As a hobbyist woodworker who randomly decided to challenge oneself with a guitar build, Brad’s advice, encouragement and down-to-earth friendliness has been a godsend. In a world increasingly losing its human touch, he has been a trusted companion on my creative journey. He is providing guitar products that are quite unique and user focused and for that I salute you Brad! Peter Hayward Sam Ashton20 March 2025 Tone Merchants is the place to go if you're after quality instruments in Auckland. I have always been a fan of reverend guitars and was pleased to see Tone Merchants had them in stock. visited to give one of the basses a crack and without a question Brad was more than happy to order the model and colour I wanted, kept in consistent contact for it's arrival date and has since helped with some repairs needed on the bass without any fuss. Brad is a great character who really knows the product he sells, providing a real personal touch in an extremely professional setting. I look forward to seeing Tone Merchants grow over time. Thanks again Brad!
