billymagnum Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Back at the end of February, I bought a set of P-Rails and Triple shot mounting rings from StRanger7032 over in the trading post. It was a great bargain and he was fantastic to deal with. So I had no time until a week ago to install them. Here are the results! NOTE: i went ahead and removed the tone knob. i don't even need it with the this setup. the thing you see in its place is and old car/boat/idk push/pull switch i found somewhere at sometime and it is now a kill switch.

Thanks for the kind words! I was curious to see what those would end up in. Looks like the proper flat top for them. They sat at a serious angle on my SG and I could never quite get the sound to balance right. Glad to hear they worked out well for you. The Phat Cats are a much better fit for the SG body, so all's good on my end too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Congratulations! I am so curious about these pickups, ever since they got released. Great concept. I like the Triple Shot rings too, very smart idea! Enjoy it with good health! Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bence they are a lot of fun! this guitar has been hanging on a wall for a while now because the stock pups were just mush. these additions have made me play it more frequently. its good because its a fantastic guitar and i definitely missed it. only one minor issue and it seems to be a common one. the rings were very very slightly too small width-wise. luckily when the screws were put in, it all sort of stretched into place. no big deal but i did have a "oh crap" moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, You managed it well... One thing I wonder about, will someone make custom pickup covers for them? Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bence the Dean is a flat top its not carved. im sure seymour duncan's custom shop would be happy to make covers for P-Rails. they probably already have...

Notes_Norton Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I had my custom made Parker DF522NN (NN=Notes Norton) model done with P-Rails and triple shots. I love them. 4 different tones: P90 Rail Series Humbucker Parallel Humbucker The P90 sound very good, a little more bite at the high end than the P90s on my ES-330 or Casino. The Rails sound very Fender-ish, and if you use both pups in the rail mode, you get pretty close to the Strat with pups 1&2 engaged. One humbucker mode sounds pretty PAF-ish and the other thinner like a mini-humbucker. My Parker also has a piezo under the bridge, and blending that with the P90 will produce a good-enough to fool the audience Tele sound. It's now my only gigging guitar, because I get everything I need with one guitar. And since I pack a sax, two wind synths, a flute, a MIDI controller and a guitar to the gig, the last thing I want to do is bring another guitar. They are the "Swiss Army Knives" of pickups, and the tones are very good for a multi-purpose pickup. In other words, "I love 'em". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
