@xpaulinox Yup. Buy a tripleshot mounting ring. Then you can get all 4 tones. =)

@superduperlouber You can get the 4 tones if you install an extra switch somewhere, or do what a lotta people do (myself included) and get somethin like a SD triple shot mounting ring. Some guitars have extra options on push-pull pots too.

Looks like a Heritage H170 in the background.

i have a three way switch, can work with it ?
-
may we know what sound chain makes this great tone??

Awesome demo (great to use a "control riff" for comparison purposes instead of freeforming all over the place--wish other people understood that!). And thanks for a clear explanation of what's going on without too much techie talk for luddites.
2 Qs: (1) do these come with ability to select series _or_ parallel wiring in humbucker mode (no biggie--just curious to see how far you guys took it)? and (2) is there an output jump from p90 to humbucker, or my imagination?
Keep after it.

I love the multi tones i get from my p-rails

I just purchased a ibanez sas32ex that someone had swapped the factory pickups out with the prails I really love the variety of tones that I get out of my pickups

@themikeaustin i have these in my own epi sg, and i don't regret buying them at all, they're not muddy sounding either, at least mine definately aren't, you can get a range of tones from them, youtube quality just wrecks everything lol i'm getting a gibson for my 21st and i may end up switchin out the pickups for these as well. Thats just my oppinion though.
Be sure to watch the newly posted version of this video in HD. YouTube has come a long way since we originally posted. The sound is far better on the new video.

Sounds muddy to me. Is it all YouTube? I don't think so. I was considering getting these for my son's Epiphone SG; now I'm not so sure.

@themikeaustin I'll tell you this much... we uploaded this video almost 3.5 years ago now. Youtube audio fidelity has come a long way since then. This post actually proceeded the existence of even the "High Quality" option let alone HD of any kind. Keep that in mind when you're listening to these "older" demos. Decent computer speakers help, but only so much.
