EricGR Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I’m looking to find out if anyone knows where I can get knob replacements or similar. Also if anyone can give me details on volume pot I’m likely gonna need to replace. some photos here: https://imgur.com/a/F9kAntG Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobmeyrick Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) From the pictures it looks like you have SD P-Rails with the volume pots for each pickup having a push-pull arrangement, though I can't tell from the picture if it's for coil splitting or series/parallel wiring. A good way of getting the most out of a set of P-Rails is to use the Triple Shot mounting rings. I used them in my H150 Special, and they give you the following options from the two little switches on the ring - humbucker (coils in series). P90 coil, Rail coil. humbucker (coils in parallel). Something to be aware of is that you might have to shorten the pickup lead quite a lot to get it to fit in the pickup cavity. If you use the Triple Shots you can use a regular volume pot. I found I was using the P90 setting most of the time so I eventually replaced the P-Rails with a set of Phat Cats. I still have the P-Rails, all I need is another guitar to put them in... 😁. Here's a pic of the H150 Special with the P-Rails and Triple Shots. Edited December 30, 2023 by bobmeyrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricGR Posted December 30, 2023 Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 Thanks so much for the info! Yes I forgot to mention that they are P Rails. I am bringing mine in here on Tuesday and going to see if I can’t get triple shots in. I love the tones I get but interested to see what I’ve been missing. so for the tone knob pot I can just use the standard then correct? I can’t find matching knobs so guess I’m gonna just need to replace all those. thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this video which shows how to install the P-Rails with the Triple Shots - As I said, you can use regular volume pots with the Triple Shots, but if you had a push-pull pot you could wire it for the Peter Green out-of-phase sound. Even more options! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
