Re: Rails or blades pups...
IMO rails = better than pole pieces because its a pretty balanced / even tone..even when bending, plus string spacing is never a problem, the only " con " i could think of with the rails type pickups is they might have a bit more "pull" on the strings, i ususaly set mine lower on the bass side and up a little more on the treble side..not enough to make it too noticeable that its slanted, but i find that this helps further " balance " my tone....

Re: Rails or blades pups...
The only problem with rails is they look too darn high-tech and newfangled for old school players who like everything to be covered in shiny metal dots.............we need full-sized rails humbuckers besides the Dime and that Bill Lawrence thing, we have waited long enough.......
