Godin Summit Classic CT Convertible - this seems to be a really versatile & great sounding guitar!

Voxman

I love the concept of combining single coil, P90, and h/bucker pick-ups.  Vox tried this on some of their guitars but I didn't think the different tones were that great.  On this, they sound really good!  See what you think:

Aren't they just Duncan P-Rails?

Voxman

Wasn't familiar with P Rails but yes, looks like them.

I built a Strat for someone with 2 p-rails in. Although a versatile range of tones, it was neither fish nor foul to be honest...

Sassafras

I thought he played a couple of notes sharp and one was definitely flat.

I think I'd still like to try those pups. Could be very convenient to have those tones in one guitar and save changing guitars at gigs, rehearsals.

Yes and no - they do a good impression, but they aren't true single coil sounds, or true p90 sounds - well, okay they are, but there is something missing from them. 

You know that Variax thing where it doesn't feel right having a tele sound in a non-tele body shape? Yeah, that..

Lol!   Yeah, I think there are folk here who I'm sure can do better or who will delight in posting a vid of someone who's able to play professional rock solos.

That was my experience too, though it was certainly giggable. 

I'd rather compromise a quite a lot on my least-used sound and not at all on the other than compromise a bit on everything.

The P-rails are good pickups, but they do have a more modern voicing to them.  I had one in the neck position of a Tele for a bit and it sounded really good, a lot of tonal options available with a mini switch to easily access the three different options.
