The only experience I have from rails is playing around on Dean guitars, specifically the dimebag darrel signatures. To be honest I was never a fan of his tone but those pickups (I believe they where Seymour Duncan's as well) where NICE!!! Really good cleans and packed a mean punch when I wanted them to.

I think you made a really good choice!
Edit: I just remembered the iommi pickup I have I believe are rails under the cover from what i heard and I love that pickup!

Thanks! It will be a pretty complex guitar. The rail is technically an HB and it splits. I will wire it up on a 5 way blade with traditional strat selections, but each pup will be on a push-pull and split. That is a heap of tones!!
 
Man your ambitious for sure. Nice looking guitar. Me likey greeny!

I put a rail in my strat, and i like it. Of course it's a hot rail. Gives it a bit more umphhh, which is what I like.

That is a mean Strat!

The LP is on the way. It has been parked 1 place in China since April 1!!!! Hopefully it will start moving again.

I must say that this process is like a sculpture or painting for me. I get so excited to see what parts and pups and tools I can apply to a guitar to make something more unique.

Modding is to guitar making as cake mix is to baking. You did not make it from scratch, but the end product is still yours!!

Oh yea, I hear ya.
That's why, it actually stings when it's over....love that rush. It's a canvas that cost more than a painting.....but I think, more exhilarating.

Switch came and is wired it. The PG and middle pup come today. It should be functional tonight.
Also, I ordered 2 Bill Lawrence (Wilde Bill, not USA) pickups appropriate for the middle in case the SD does not work out!!
 
Blimey, as if this Las Vegas green was tarty enough...

Actually, it's a nice colour and the strat looks good. I've had 3 Squire strats (all more than 30 years ago and of various handedness), and they were all shite. But, it seems that Squire have upped their game and are producing very decent inexpensive geetars nowadays.

Now, if that strat had brass alloy frets then it really would be fantastic!
