sounds good to me. I'm not a fan of the hot rails in the neck but some people seem to like it. I say try it out. If you don't like it, try a cool rails 2nd, or a little '59. I usually stick a JB or Distortion in the bridge of my guitars. Let me know how that Custom works out for ya, I've never used one.
the custom is great, i sound just like jason becker with it :haha:
i hope the hot rails works out, because the dimarzio choppers in it suck big time.
maybe i'll put the choppers in a strat :scratchch:
i dont know, i'll figure that out later :dance:
My Rock Legend has a JB in the bridge, and it sounds AMAZING. It has two Hot Rails, as well, and I'm less than thrilled with them. They sound good, but I'm dying to swap them out for JB Juniors or SSL-1's.

what dont you like about them?
i need to know pretty soon as i should be getting them fairly soon.
i would mainly be using the hot rails for shredding in the neck, and a cool rails for cleaner stuff in middle. is the JB jr better for playing that kinda stuff?
My friend has the identical model Rock Legend that I do, and I think the JB Jr's sound better: they have better definition & bite. The JB is incedibly warm sounding, and is great for old school sounds, but I mainly use it for rhythm work. For shredding I prefer to use my Jem which as Breeds or my M1 or Kamikaze, which have Screamin' Demons.
I agree with twilight. The cool rails and 59 I like in the neck. JB jr. I never tried. I find the hot rails in the neck to be muddy and blah sounding, cool rails are by no means wimpy, just clearer.
