wardog Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 ok, i fell of the horse and cop'd a sg jr in all black from musician's friend (89 bucks). why, the mod bug is hitting hard. So, i decided to put a p-rail (ha also, 89 bucks) in it to give it booyah power. Problem, the p-rail was mis-labeled as a bridge on mf's label and when i got home.. Dang it is a neck pup per duncan label on the side. So, should i keep the neck or should i control myself and get the bridge tomorrow and mod it corretly-that is to say will a neck work in a 1 pup set-up ?

wardog Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 ok, no brainer. i got the bridge in and WWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! THE P-RAIL ROCKS. I haven't completed mods yet. doing a double push/pull to select between the options. only have volume pot installed and wow. The rail sounds great and the p-90 is freaken hot. can't wait to see how the humbker sounds when i install tone pot.:- I will post pics of my recent mods soon. waiting for tusq nut and other 500k pus/pull to cmplete mods on the jr.

wardog Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 here is the link: http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=2_prails_1v_1t_tspp Since this is a epi les paul jr, i am connecting the pickup to the vol pot. per, the schematic i should have humbkr in when both pots are upp or both down. with the volume pot in i have access to rail and p-90. the way this pup sounds, i may look into putting some in the dot. For those interested in wiring for a dot hee it is:http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=2_prails_2v_2t_3w_2pp or this one--i like this option more than the other:http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=2_prails_2v_2t_tspp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledge57 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Hmmmn P-Rail in a LP Jr, sounds like a good idea to me :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjones200x Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Can you tell me how good the humbuckler is when its sorted out please. I love the tonal options of these pickups but am affraid there'll be jack of all trades and master of none. I have heard the p90 tone on youtube and it sounds great! would love to hear an actual person describe the tone of the humbuck in person and not relie on a compressed vid file from youtube. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledge57 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Well I like the humbucker sound but I'm not good enough to give a good description of it's tone. The P-90 sounds good too, the rail pickup leaves me a little flat, not quacky like a Strat's (naturally) I was hoping for more from the rail but overall I like it a lot, and I think in a guitar with 2 of them it'd be that much better. I also only have mine wired for the 3 tones, don't have the parallel/series HB option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardog Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 I agree with sledge on the rail. still very nice. Sledge, i have a black lp jr with black pickgd. looks awesome. i decided to do the push/pull option because i did not want to add hole for switch. wanted to keep look as original as possible and the push/pull does that fine. i will post pics when i get other parts in and installed. still waiting on another audio 500k pot and a tusq nut. can't wait to hit local store with it and here it thru a tube amp like the valve jr.
