Anyone have any experience with this? I'm putting together a project Melody Maker SG (mahogany). It has single coil routing so I'm going for a strat replacement pickup but due to the difference in string spacing between Gibson and Strat bridges I need a rail pickup to avoid drop out during string bends. Anyone have any experience using the Hot, Cool, or Vintage rails in Gibsons or any other Mahogany guitars? I'm also really curious how the Lipstick for Strat might sound in there.

the only strat pup ive heard in there was a cool rails and i thought it sounded really good. nice cleans, good crunchy dirty tone, i think it sounded better in that guitar than it does in some strats

I've used the stag mags on a Sg shaped guitar (Guild S-100). The tone was really nice, It reminded to fat single coil but without the increased output. If I pushed the treble a bit it resebled a gretch tone.

Why?

Yeah Jeremy. I've been leaning towards a vintage rail in the neck and a cool rail in the bridge. I have a 63 Sg junior w/ original p-90 and a 73 Sg Standard w/ a DiMarzio super distortion in the bridge and thought I'd try making this guitar sound alot different than those.
