P Rails question

[Darrenr75]

Hello,

I've just purchased my first ever semi hollow - and Epiphone 335 lefty, and am going to buy P Rails with the Seymour Duncan Triple Shot rings.

My question is which P Rails should I buy, the medium or high output ones?

I'm looking to take advantage of all of the P90/single coil/humbuckers sounds, and use a Marshall JTM30 amp which has a very bright tone with lots of punch, so any advice would be appreciated.


Cheers
Darren

Re: P Rails question

Go for the medium. Alex Lifeson got plenty of heavier tones in early Rush with Gibons PAF-type (i.e. non-high-output) pickups in his 335, so unless you're attempting Speed Metal, you will not need the high-output version.

There's only one neck model (original) and there's an Original bridge or P-Rails Hot bridge. Definitely get the Original bridge. The Hot should be used when the P90 sound has to be huge and overwound. The Hot is very hot!

Thank you kindly, purchase completed!

I've already got hot SD's in a Les Paul, and I don't want a screamy feedback guitar!
