Re: Triple Shot Rings
I just recently installed a set and they work just fine, they will give you more options than if you just go with push-pull pots and toggles and they're simple to install, you just solder the pickups to them and then solder the ground and hot wire.
My biggest complaint is that they're rather thin compared to the old mounting rings.

Re: Triple Shot Rings
Tell us about your guitar and we'll make sure you pick the right triple shot rings. I've had a set for almost two years now, they work flawlessly and make pickup swapping incredibly easy. I honestly can't think of any down sides except the price vs using push/pull pots.

Re: Triple Shot Rings
You can buy just one or a set, in black or cream. These carved top fit your LP.

Falbo's vid is great, lots of good tips that don't come on the instructions:

Re: Triple Shot Rings
Add 2 push/pull pots for Series/Parallel and OOP and you've got the full Jimmy Page mod plus a little bit extra.

Re: Triple Shot Rings
Wouldn't work for a curved bottom set, obviously.
Triple Shots are the easiest way to get the most possible sounds.
If it's a flat bottomed set, I'm pretty sure there's no reason you can't just turn them around like that.

Re: Triple Shot Rings
I've been using the Triple Shots for several years now and find that they are much easier to use with the switches "on top", especially when you want to change settings on the fly mid-song. With the switches below the high E string it is very difficult to operate without muting or buzzing the E string. No problem when they are on top, however.

Re: Triple Shot Rings
I have a Les Paul with 3 hums, 3 triple shots, 4 push/pulls and I can get 190 "different" pickup/coil combos out of it.
Honestly there is probably only 6 or 7 that are different from each other and the other 183 are copies of those 7.
It would be way morte convenient to have series and either parallel or split (to either coil) not all 4. two would be enough.
Using the neck and bridge pickups out-of-phase is good tone the neck and brodge series isn't too IMO.

Re: Triple Shot Rings
my RG2 has triple-shots and a 5 way super switch
that has
neck
neck + bridge in series
neck + bridge in parallel
neck + bridge in series out of phase
bridge
I think the in series out of phase with one coil of the JB or one of the Jazz
sounds kinda twangy like a telecaster
but that may just be me

Re: Triple Shot Rings
Hi everyone. I'm about to install P Rails into my left handed Epiphone 335 Dot.
Unfortunately it looks like I'm going to be forced to install them upside down as my guitar is a lefty.
Quick question - do I really need push pull pots if I'm installing triple shots?
Cheers

Re: Triple Shot Rings
No you don't. The push/pull pots were mentioned jsut because if people want to add the master series/parallel swicth for their neck and bridge humbuckers or put them out-of-phase. Triple Shots will work without any p/p pots.
