P-Rail SHPR-2b & SHPR-1 over JB SH-4 & '59 SH-1?

[Spidouz]

Hi Guys,

Well, everything's in the topic... Which Bridge/Neck solution would you choose?

Solution 1:

Bridge: P-Rail SHPR-2b
Middle Bridge: SDBR-1 Duckbuckers
Middle Neck: STK-S10N YJM Fury Neck
Neck: P-Rail SHPR-1


Solution 2:

Bridge: JB Model SH-4
Middle Bridge: SDBR-1 Duckbuckers
Middle Neck: STK-S10N YJM Fury Neck
Neck: '59 Model SH-1


Sound and Music: Any kind from Country, Jazz, Pop, Funk, R&B, Ska, Classic Rock, Heavy Rock, Aggressive Rock, Nu-Metal...

Note: The two middle pickups still need to be confirmed later. (The goal is to have a regular straight Strat Middle pickup, and another one more aggressive, more punchy, etc... But that's another thread

Thanks for any feedback and recommendations

Phil

Solution 2, with an A2 in the JB.

Hi Blueman,

A2 in the JB? What do you mean?

Here's a hint on the P-Rail in the neck position... mount it upside down. Makes a world of a difference. It's hard losing that 59'r though but now I'm feeling better about it. Before turning it it was way to bright in the rail and to woolly in the P-90. That small bit of placement change sure made a huge difference on the rail! Also helped brighten up the P90 and combo setting sounds better too.

I'm not the only one doing this either. I was really close to yanking the P-Rail & putting the 59'r back in. Until about 12 hours ago. Now I gotta really give it a run and see what I think.

If I had a 3rd pickup I'd have a Lil 59'r in between the P-Rail & JB. If it was 3 buckers It'd be the same but I'd play with switching the P-rail to middle and 59'r to neck. I really hate losing that fullsized 59'r at the neck. I think I'm gonna try it at the Bridge just to get it back in there.

Good luck. It's a hard call when you want them all. rich

Hi Rich,

You're actually not the first one that mention to flip the Neck P-Rail...

Hmm tough call indeed, even more now that you mention the Lil 59... Now, we wish they could build a P-Rail on a single-coil size, to have a P-Rail and the Lil 59 on the Neck... LOL

Thanks for the feedback
