Members Mr Songwriter Posted March 16, 2008 Members Share Posted March 16, 2008 OK, I know these pickups aren't out yet, and I've yet to hear any decent clips or reviews of them, Seymour Duncan P-Rails ...but I'm very interested in the concept, and as I'm probably going to be buying an MIK Tokai LP this week, I'm thinking it might make a good test bed for a set (or maybe just one) of them. My first thought is that I would want to put one in the Bridge position and have an extra switch (preferably a push-pull pot - I'd rather not drill any extra holes for switches unless I really have to) to switch between Humbucker/P-90/Single coil operation, what I'd like to know is if there is a push-pull pot that would allow me to do this, or, failing that, what would be my next best option to get this switching? Any suggestions? Edit: thinking about it, it might be possible with two push-pull pots, maybe one would be switching between the P-90 and the single and the other would be swithching between humbucking operation and whatever the first pot has been set to. Can anyone think of a better arrangement than this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's another video on Youtube with that bloke demoing those P-rails at Namm, he starts talking about them about 6:15, there's quite a bit more detail in there: [YOUTUBE]MFeoS5i9zro[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might still be worth taking a look. He compares them to HBs and SCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
