Members Funderbunk Posted July 18, 2007 Author Members Share Posted July 18, 2007 D'you mean these? That's the one. Got the bridge version for a project I'm working on, but when it arrived here yesterday, I decided to drop it into my friends 51 while I was swapping strings and doing a bit of tweaking for him. It turned it into a freaking beast, and once he got a chance to play with it, there's no way I'll be getting it back - it's in that guitar to stay.

Members mrperson Posted July 18, 2007 Members Share Posted July 18, 2007 does guitarfetish ship to the UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Funderbunk Posted July 18, 2007 Author Members Share Posted July 18, 2007 does guitarfetish ship to the UK? Sure looks like they do - I just added one to my cart, and the shipping calculator has options for "Export - Air Letter Post" (or "Export - EMS Global Express") which added $9 (or $38) to the pricetag when choosing the UK as the destination. http://store.guitarfetish.com/gfsporacrpok1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ancient Mariner Posted July 18, 2007 Members Share Posted July 18, 2007 Indeed they do and jolly good they are at it too:thu: +1 to that. I saw those a few days ago. I'm no metal-mutha but they certainly *look* interesting. BTW those Bill Lawrence PUs with the rail embedded in cream bobbins always make me think of NHS type prosthetic equipment - in a BAD way. I think it's the semi-flesh colour of the bobbin coupled to the slightly dodgy chrome of the rail that does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Timmott Posted July 18, 2007 Members Share Posted July 18, 2007 Cool, good to hear that they're good pickups. I was thinking about throwing one in the bridge position of my Ibanez to replace the JB in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members peavey_impact Posted July 18, 2007 Members Share Posted July 18, 2007 My Crunchy Rails should be in tonight....I'm gonna install it, record clips and post an initial review. I hope my experience is as good as yours. Do the Power Rails sound like an X2N? Is the bass tight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the shortest review ever is this one: Well, I would have gone with that, but I suspect I would have gotten complaints and subsequent requests for more information, so I tried to keep it as concise as possible. Besides, HC doesn't have a smiley icon of a dude kicking a donkey or anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Beast_vs_Beast Posted July 18, 2007 Members Share Posted July 18, 2007 Hey ppl, as a happy new owner of a pair of Crunchy Rails, I would also like to add that these are superb pickups and have really brought out the clarity in my Ibanez. I had Powersounds in there before, so you can imagine the difference I experienced. I also commend GuitarFetish on their swift shipping. I ordered last Wed at 9pm and had them on my doorstep on Fri at 11 am! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the brevity of your review, but you don't specify which 12 kinds of ass the pup kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Guitarfetish Posted July 19, 2007 Members Share Posted July 19, 2007 Just to calrify- The Power Rails are NOT X2n clones The Crunchy is NOT a Lawrence clone- There's just so much you can do cosmetically with that big rail structure- I think you'll find the POwer's have a little more high end clarity than X2n's- WAAAAY tighter bottom end and a little more relaxed mids- The crunchies have all the mids dialed back in and a little more clarity as well on the high end.
