Nice, I've been curious about the P-rails, how are they wired and do they sound good?

literally only had it for 1 hour, guitar is sounding blooming great, that triple shot switching system is genius.. but I cannot answer your Q as I don't know what is down to the guitar and what is down to the pups.

I had a Pacifica 510v that had a single P-rails pickup. They're pretty hot, sounded more "modern" than "vintage"- it suited the guitar though & the tone just got thicker from single->P90->HB. 
Having a pair would be great.

Looks great.  But sorry I have missed what guitar this is.  Do you have a link to the ad?

Always seems odd to me that people had rail/P90/series options but not the parallel wiring, which I found much more usable than the rail on its own.

^ And also only the one pickup... so, you add (arguably) one of the most versatile pickups there is to a guitar... but then only add one of them. 

I've never tried P-rails, but if it had had two of them (especially at the prices they eventually ended up being blown out for, though I realise a double-pickup model would likely have had to cost a bit more) I'd have been tempted.

Lovely guitar in the OP, though
