  • I'm still getting used to this guitar with it's skinny neck, but I thought I'd post a clip of a little noodling with the P-Rails and Triple Shot rings. I'm really amazed at the variety of cool sounds you can get out of these, I love the Parallel humbucking mode!
    Through my Line 6 Helix, JCM800 model into a custom IR. A little reverb and some tubescreamer and delay at the end.

    That's one of the most elegant looking DC - LP's I've seen. Scorching tone too! Nice playing, man.

    I came to hear a P-rail in the bridge of a LP. Stayed for the awesome jam (and then watched it again! P-rail going in my LP this weekend)

    Thanks for the video. I've been contemplating doing the same in the neck position to give one of my guitars a "brighter" sound. I believe I will now without hesitation.

    I got some of those, waiting on push push pots to put them in an Gibson SG Tribute, maple neck. I just really like the vintage humbucker in my neck position, The bridge is getting the swap for sure. Gonna swap both first and then we will see, feel or hear- whatever. Might have to keep the vintage 80's neck Aria Pro 2 T-top clone. It's fabulous. You just have to swap and see, there is no guarantee.

    Sweet playing, I came here to see about the reversed neck pickup. I have had this thought for awhile. It seems to be closer to what should be than the way they designed them. Those triple shot rings seem to be a pita to adjust to your different sounds. I wired mine so I have 2 toggles instead of 2 tone and volume knobs, I have 1 each and control pickups with toggle switches, much easier.
    Other than maybe splicing wires together, anything else need jury-rigged to secure neck pickup?
    Thanks

    When you hear "Turn that Shit off" coming from upstairs you know you've got the tone you want. I put the P rails in my Strat with a Super Vee Blade Runner and they sound incredible, next up they're going in my 77 Triple pickup Frampton Greco e.g. 600 with a Super Vee Blade Runner, should be interesting. Many thanks....

    How is the switch wired? I bought a P-Rail for my Tokia Love Rock and i am keeping the humbucker in the bridge and putting p-rail in neck. But i guess i need a 3 way DPDT switch so i can use the p90, p90/rail, rail config.

      He reversed the position of the actual pickup. The standard formation would be
      Bridge :|
      Neck |:
      But he has the neck the same direction as the bridge. In my explanation the “:” is the pole screws and the “|” is the rail

      You can find it here, I use this wiring for a lot of my repair customers with different kinds of pickups. What it's really doing is letting you access series, parallel, inside coils, and outside coils. Very handy!

      That tone is my Line 6 Helix directly into my interface, I think I was using a Hiwatt amp model. Definitely a stereo delay in there too, with dotted 8th note repeats on one side and quarter notes on the other. I use 11-54 gauge strings.

    Trying to imagine all the ways a neck could be 'Reversed'... Lemme see: the frets could face the rear; the head stock could be at the body; that's all I can think of. Hm, if it wasn't a symmetrical head stock, that could be flipped vertically, like on some Fenders... Someone help me out! :^)
