application

Ground breaking, patent pending design allows a full-size humbucker
to split to either a real deal P-90 or a traditional single coil.
Perfect for a wide variety of styles including country, pop, surf, jazz,
blues, classic rock, and heavy rock.

description

Until now, if you wanted humbucker, P-90, and vintage Strat tones,
you'd have to haul three guitars to the gig. Enter P-Rails. Its a
full-size humbucker that splits to either a full-size P-90 or a special
Alnico-powered single-coil Rail pickup. The humbucker sound is full and
expansive, owing to the mis-matched coil configuration. The P-90 is a
super fat. And the Rail coils, when used together, sound like the 2 and 4
positions in a great Strat.

complete setup

P-Rails are best used in a matched neck and bridge set. To get both
humbucker and P-90 tones, use a two-way switch (push-pull or
mini-toggle). To have humbucker and P-90 tones and bring in the added
dimension of the single-coil Rail, use a three-way switch (DPDT
on-off-on).

guitars

P-Rails can be used in any guitar set up for a traditional humbucker
or Trembucker. A single P-Rails will bring added dimension to your
guitar. However, to optimize P-Rails unique splitting capabilities and
get the best single-coil Rails tones, use a neck and bridge set.

available mods

Normally, in humbucking mode, P-Rails are wired in series, for a
high-output sound that works great for classic rock and heavier tones.
However, when wired in parallel, the coil mismatch produces a very
usable P.A.F.-style humbucker tone with less phase cancellation
associated with standard parallel wired humbuckers, complete with
present upper-mid bloom and pronounced string articulation.
