I love the sound of the P coil in the PRail. Any ideas on a strat size single that sounds like it?

Re: Single coil that sounds like PRail P90?
nope. dimarzio sds1 sorta. the prail p90 coil is the sd vintage p90. getting a p90 sound out of a strat size pup is tricky. if anyone tells you a qp, they are wrong. i like the qp a lot but it doesnt sound like a p90. the attack is all wrong

You should contact Scheffer-Pickups in the Netherlands. I got some really nice sounding pups from him. All handwound and with the finest materials.
I'm sure he could make something for you.
I have 2 single coils and a p90 format in the bridge.. sounds awesome!

Yeah, the P-90 sound is pretty unique. I can't think of any pup (Strat, Tele, single, or bucker) that can duplicate it. It's one of the reasons I love P-90s and use them so much in my builds.Originally Posted by IanBallard
Rule of thumb... the more pot you have, the better your tone.

I tried one of Lindy’s steel pole pups but it was a good deal brighter and harsher than what I was expecting or want (I’ve used prails in many guitars, so I have a good idea what to expect). The thing is the PRail doesn’t sound like most P90s. It has its own special sound.

Jeremy is right, the Dimarzio SDS-1 is close in its factory format. When the hex poles are changed to the slotted type (you can harvest these out of other humbucker to give it a try) the SDS-1 is a lot closer. These in the neck and middle with a JB2 in the bridge is total hard rock perfection in an S style guitar.
