No idea for you really on the pups, but would love to see pics!
Celtic to be exact. Very kool gunmetal Grey with Celtic inlay at the twelfth fret and minimal vibe all the way around. Kind of a shredder type set neck (larger frets than standard) and a lone volume knob.I'm waiting on the p-rails pickup and a SD triple shot humbucker ring. Was wondering if anyone has used this pickup yet. I will have just one knob on this and was wondering which is the best cap for use with the p-rails. I will probably use a Sprague .22 orange drop for starters. Hoping this will work good on the p-rails as it splits from a humbucker to a p-90 and a single blade single coil. Any opinions/ ideas are appreciated. thanks,J.H.

I had one just like that except it was the Strat version instead of the Tele. I too toyed with the idea of putting a P-Rails in there with a Duncan Triple-Shot. Are you putting in a concentric pot so you can have both a volume and tone? With a single volume pot, a cap is irrelevant.

I`ve got an SD hotrail in the bridge of my Tele , with a vintage SD neck pick up both sound great as individual pups but together they sound like Donald Duck .

I don`t think so , although i copied what the tech had done previous so it could be a possibility , maybe I`ll wait for the next refinish project to sort it out.Originally Posted by marnold
I like the photo btw , it looks like you could sharpen that tele up and actually use it as an axe.
...yeah I was thinking a 500K concentric pot. I don't want to change the look. Very minimal ,I like that. I also looked at the push pull to add a out of phase to mix of sounds I could get. Just waiting on the parts for now. I think SD has a lot of orders for the triple shot cause they seem hard to come by around here. I'll get back to yas soon as i get it and see how it sounds,John

Thanks. My only concern with a concentric pot is that I seem to remember measuring it and the cut-out in the body for the knob would not be wide enough to handle the bigger bottom knob on a concentric pot. Another option would be a pull-for-tone mod where you use a push-pull. If you pull it out, the volume is wide open and the pot functions as a tone control. Just a heads-up, you will need to get a drill bit and widen the hole for the pot shaft because it's not quite big enough for a push-pull pot's shaft. At least my Strat version wasn't. Here's a link to what I wrote when I made that mod:

and found a smaller than standard concentric set up with ts 500k pot. If it doesn't fit properly I have a buddy with a lathe and will turn it down to make it fit or I will make new knobs completely. I will have to ream the hole for the new pot, Other than that should be a fairly easy install. Still waitin' on parts. Hey I was gonna ask ya. Is your strat real light? This thing is super light. Really kool actually cuz a lot of my guitars are mahogany and such and weigh a ton. So, this is a kool added bonus for me. I don't like to bring my higher end gear to the shows. And, if this turns out sounding like I want it to I will use it for shows. I have seen too many people have high end gear ripped off over the years ya know. Thanks,John

Well, it was. I sold it to get my DK2M. Kinda wish I wouldn't have had to, but thems the breaks. But yes, it was extraordinarily light.

Wow. That certainly is an unusual Tele.
Enjoy!!
