More on Ty Tabor's use of P-Rails

I believe Ty's (of King's X) use of P-Rails in his new signature Guilford guitar is the first use of these pickups in a sig guitar (anyone know of any others?). In case you don't know, he has them wired to a traditional 3-way switch and to a mini-switch that picks one of the P-Rails' 3 modes for BOTH pickups at the same time: single, P-90, hum. So it appears he his guitar will only either have two hums, two singles or two P-90s feeding the 3-way pickup selector switch on his guitar. If someone has other info on this, I'm all ears.

Looked into his tone -- Gretchen-era and now -- for my blog (address below in sig) in case anyone is interested.

That's exactly how he has them wired. Same as in my early Youtube video. I got a bunch of footage of him talking about it at NAMM but we haven't uploaded anything yet. My favorite is how he talks about the fact that his new solo album was 99% done, and when he got the guitar with the P-Rails, he freaked out and went back and re-recorded all of the guitar tracks.

He cannot use the bridge P-90 coil in series out-of-phase with the neck coils in parallel to just subtract the right amount of neck stuff from the bridge?

What a wimp :)

I've been a big King's X fan for a pretty long time. I came across a video that I think Frank may have posted where he was going through his new amp rig with the Egnater modular preamp that I really enjoyed watching.

I saw King's X at the Palace in North Hollywood years ago on the tour for Dogman, and they are really great. Those guys are very soulful, and put on a great show for a 3 piece.
