So I know this is the guitar forum, I don't have a brand of guitar to discuss as I'm going to build my own. I've decided to make a double-cut, Les Paul style with a mahogany body and maple carved top, set neck. I'm looking at a Schaller Tune-o-matic type bridge with piezo electric built in, but I'm unsure about the main pups. I was perusing the Seymour Duncan site and ran into the P-Rails, which are intriguing. Here's a link if you haven't seen them: http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/electric/humbucker/progressive/prails_shpr1/
Basically they give you single coil, P-90's and Humbuckers all in one PUP.
in addition to these I was thinking about getting the triple shot mounting ring which allows you to switch between the three different modes at the pups themselves rather than using a push pull pot. Link here: http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/electric/humbucker/triple-shot/triple_shot_swi/
So bearing in mind that my amp is a mark IIC+, which is very loud I'm thinking I don't necessarily need high output pickups, in fact I think some that are toned down might just be the thing. I'm looking to get a wide array of tones, and would like to get some single coil sounds so coil tap/split has always been on the table.
What I want to know is if anyone has had any experience with these pickups, or whether there are any other mark series owners that would recommend setups for someone who plays mostly blues, heavy rock, classic tones. Floyd, Zeppelin, QOTSA, White Stripes. Not looking for metal tones out of this guitar.
Does anyone have any opinions about Seymour Duncan PUPS? Guitar body woods? Just looking for input, I'm pretty sure about my direction but why not hear what other people think?
Thanks, John
