Fender 50s Strat with P-rails Seymour Duncan and other mods

I have made some modifications to my strat since the last video. Still the same 50s reissue strat but with a different pickup. I put a Seymour Duncan SHPR-2 P-Rails pickup a humbucker, P-90, and rails single coil all in one. I also did a silence mod by shielding the guitar better and removing access ground loops.

Hi, great pickups I have 2 sets of the PRails on 2 guitars. I want to share something with you, I installed mine differently (the P90 facing each other,inside coil and the Rails outside further apart)

and the rails sounds much better more Telecaster twang sound!

The P90 sounds almost the same as stock installation but the Rails are much much better.

But that is my own taste when using the PRails set. Try it you might like it too! Cheers.

@pytaro Nice observation. 

[Gouki87]

hey man, do you have a wiring diagram for how you did this? I want to put one in a strat I am building! :D

[itsGoboboy]

@Gouki87 Seymour Duncan.com has a diagram for the prails in a Les Paul style guitar. I used that only i just took the signal wire that would have went to the 3-way switch and put it where the my bridge pickup would go.

[dudemanguyguy]

It's called a double-pole double-throw switch.

Your tone knob is wired wrong, nothing to do with ground loops.

@dudemanguyguy Yea after I made this video the tones evened out. No problems.

That's a beautiful guitar, man. I ordered a P-rail and am going to do the same thing to my strat. I'm wanting to drop the p-rails into the bridge like you, but put the 3-way toggle in the place of the bridge tone pot, and have the leftover tone knob have dominion over all pickups.

too much talking!!!

@IPushHard You should try putting a coil tap (not coil split) on the prails you have to bring it down for some clean stuff. Thanks for watching.

[IPushHard]

I like the PRails, but they only seem usable for hotter pushed tones. I wish they could be backed off and used for some clean tones.

You did mount it in the best place for your Strat since you can really pop n the bridge position for solos.

Nice vid.
