P-rails in a telecaster

[cheeseking3]

Greetings interwebs,

I recently purchased a cheap telecaster and I plan to mod the living crap out of it, one of the mods being a set of SD p-rails with triple shots. My question is this: should I mount the pickups backwards in order to have the rails to the extreme outer edges, sort of like you'd find on a standard telecaster? Or would it not make much of a difference? I'm wondering if anyone has already tried this.

The neck with the rails away from the bridge was thought to be a major improvement. The bridge with the rails facing the bridge was too bright.

I say...try both. You won't know until you try. Some people like it one way, some the other (some even like them facing the same way, so there is that, too).

They can be mounted in whichever orientation you prefer. That being said, the rails used together will only sound like the Strat notch position if they're on the inside.
