gpuma Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 With the help of PunkKitty, I finally have p-rails on my Little One. I went for Triple Shots rings and they allow for the following configurations for each pick up: - single rail - P90 - HB series - HB parallel. I find all of the options very usable, with nice and focused tone. The mod included going from a 2 vol pots configuration to a vol/tone one. Also Shallers apparently are very thin pick ups so I had to have some extra routing done, just for the depth to fit the P-rails. before: after:
PunkKitty Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Thanks for the Scotch, Gio. I'm enjoying a glass of it right now. When I dropped the guitar off at your place earlier you were commenting about the height of the rear pickup. The pickups are about as high as your old pickups. But these rings are flat. Your other pickup rings were raised. So more of the pickup is exposed with these rings. It's just the way they are designed. I'm glad that I was able to help you with this project. That's a cool little guitar.
SouthpawGuy Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Looks good ! fwiw I've found the P-Rails sound good set close to the strings, it does make the series mode maybe a bit too full sounding, but it really makes the P-90 sound good.
heritagefan7 Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 It does look great--I've always wanted a set of P-rails in something...just heard great things abt them. Hope you enjoy them!
gpuma Posted July 7, 2013 Author Posted July 7, 2013 I am really diggin' this. I am very happy I did this mod. There is so much to handle in terms of tone options that it will probably require some time to get acquainted with all of them. It seems to me that this guitar is now the Jack of all trades, master of many. It gets from twangy tele type on a sparkly clean to a deep HB. The parallel coil option is especially interesting and unique. The harmonics it produces are really sweet. The p90 sound is pure awesomeness.
koula901 Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Gio You have one of the rare Little Ones that have 2 pups. Congrats on the new triple shots.
Redsand Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 I really like the update! any chance we can get a tone demo? I'm fascinated by these guitars.
Hfan Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Looks cool Gio, I like that long upper horn, almost like a carrying handle.
