P-Rail + 12-string?

[Newcenstein]

Anyone put a P-Rail (original, not Hot) in a Gibson-scale 12-string? Not really unhappy with the Gibsons, but if there's "better" available.......

I know, "define better". Like I said, not totally unhappy with the current pickups, and I'm currently only doing cleans with it, so a high-output shred pickup really isn't going to do much for it.

Well, I always think searching for 'better' is more or less always gonna be a sideways step, unless your need for change comes more into focus. You will gain a bunch of different sounds, with the P90 coil being the best for pure cleans. Switching from there will get a little darker.

I'm thinking Parallel 12st mike be a sweet sound!

So after 4 1/2 years since this post, I’m doing it. Maybe. Unless MF drops the ball again. Lol

Nice. Bare in mind it has two magnets to play around with if you feel the need to sculpt your tone away from stock

Rail handles string alignment (Not that that is a huge issue)
P-90 has balls
Humbucking makes it uber hot (Too hot)
Parallel is gonna be where it is at I'm telling' ya!!!!
