Guitar Pickup Question/Opinion Request [View all]
Hola. I just ordered a set of Seymour Duncan Triple Shot P-Rails. My original plan was to put them in my Godin Freeway Classic (HSH)(this is not mine but is just like it):

BUT, I also have a Godin LGX-SA that is an LP style guitar, with 2 Seymour Duncan humbuckers with a 5 way switch:

This guitar, in addition to synth capabilities, has a 5 way switch (Neck-Neck split-Neck/Bridge HB-Bridge split-Bridge) plus piezo pickups, so I was thinking adding the PRails to this one would make quite a versatile guitar. My question is, what would that do to the 5 way switch? would it essentially be the same, except the split would be whatever part of the prail it's wired to? Would it be better to put them in the Freeway to take advantage of the 5 way switch there for Strat type out of phase sounds?
This is the first time in 35 years of playing and having owned dozens of guitars that I've changed the pickups on one, so I really don't know much about it.
thanks!
