Rails Type pickup in a les paul

[tattoo1]

Iam installing a GFS power rail pickup in a epiphone les paul, no paperwork and because it has no screws in the pickup to go by. just the rails, how do i know what way to face it in the body? does it matter with a rail type humbucker? ITs a bridge pickup ,Thanks Frank

I don't think it would really make much of a difference in sound (but i can't say for sure), but I'd put the the pickup in so that the pickup wire is closest to the hole leading to the control cavity. If you want more attention, anything concerning an Epi will get more attention in the Epi section of the forum.

Check the GFS web site for install instructions. These days it seems like a lot of companies put instructions and manuals online instead of including them with the product. Check the support section, or FAQ. Even a site like Stew-Mac might have some generic pickup swap diagrams that could help, even Seymour Duncan's site has these kind of diagrams, very good ones.

It very well could make a difference which way you put it in there, without proper instructions you just don't know. Ya got a 50-50 chance of getting it right on the first try!
