    Tried P-Rails in my SG. Didn't like them. Just didn't sound right in my highly technical explanation. I Went back to a 59/Custom Hybrid bridge and a Jazz neck.

      I'd have to second the suggestion of installing a set of '57 Classics. They're great pickups.

        If this axe is bright then one more option would be a brobucker. it will be more expensive than a standard production model (PG, Custom, WLH)

        it's relatively dark on the high end and would give a bright guitar some balance.

          The P-Rails are killer in a Les Paul. Ran a set for years.
          2001 Les Paul Classic (Antiquity Set)
          2005 Les Paul Standard (Aldrich set)

            I’m a LP into a Quickrod owner too.
            I’ve got a Duncan Custom Custom in the bridge and a Dimarzio Bluesbucker in the neck.
            I removed the stock pcb board and wired it up with Gibson branded 500k pots and it sounds amazing. I don’t find it bright at all.
            But keep in mind that the QR, at least to my ears is an inherently bright(er) amp too.
