The P in P-rails stands for Phunk!

When the guitar player from the Parliament Funkadelic called and said she wasn’t happy with the tone from her stock pickups, Seymour Duncan didn’t hesitate. A tech from the Duncan factory met Shaunna Hall at the Gibson Amphitheater a few hours before the show to bring her guitar to life.

Shaunna needed something that had the jangly chime of a neck strat pickup and a fatter single coil sound in the bridge. It was also very important that she didn’t loose the full, warm, and clear over tones of a humbucker. Is it possible to get all of these sounds in one guitar and still be in the realm of funk you ask? The axe woman for the funkiest band in history says yes!

“The Seymour Duncan P-rails have achieved the until now, unobtainable feat of having three guitars in one: I can get sounds like a fender strat/tele single coil and with the flip of a switch, a Les Paul p-90 sound. And they sound RIGHT! Funk-yes!!!”
