They we're practically made for the P-Rails.

Yep. Been using them on all my bucker guitars since they first came out. I'm a real advocate. They are great and do everything they are said to do. They are simple and logical to use and you don't have to drill holes in your guitar for mini switches or use those difficult-to-use push/pulls.

Bottom line...in summary, how do they work? THANKS!

2 switches on the Triple Shot mounting ring. Depending on the positions of those switches you can switch to:

Humbucker in series,
Humbucker in parallel,
Slug coil,
Screw coil.

Excellent piece of gear.

I used to have one with a P-Rails.

I had 14 unique options on that guitar.

The other pickup was a splittable Little '59.


1) Little '59
2) Little '59 split
3) Little '59 and series humbucker
4) Little '59 and parallel humbucker
5) Little '59 and P90 coil
6) Little '59 and rail coil
7) Little '59 split and series humbucker
8) Little '59 split and parallel humbucker
9) Little '59 split and P90 coil
10) Little '59 split and rail coil
11) Series humbucker
12) Parallel humbucker
13) P90 coil
14) Rail coil

edit: gosh, this was a long time ago - 3 houses ago, in the era before children! Look at that Blackheart amp! :laughing:

On my list - what a cool invention.
 
Re: Blog: The Triple Shot "Stealth" Pickup Switching System

I don't have many bucker-equipped guitars without them. They are an absolute necessity for a P-Rails in order to utilize all of its potential in a simple and unobtrusive way..

... and the Stag Mag! I've got one in a SSH super strat where the singles are Dimarzio Area 67s. Tons of added tone options beyond the standard 5 way, especially in the position that puts the H in parallel with the middle Single - can never remember if that's called Position 2 or 4... and when I have just the Stag Mag active, I really like it in parallel with itself... thanks to the Triple Shot.

The guy who came to Seymour Duncan with the idea for that product is Jamie Shane, former guitarist for Canned Heat and the guy who introduced Cathy and Seymour to each other. He made them for his 335, seen here on the left.
