Cool Rails Vs Lil'59

[Predator1]

Which of these two would be smoother and full/less shrill in an Alder body Charvel. I should have added it is for the neck pickup.

I really like my little '59's....

I have a Lil '59 in one of my HM Tele's. I LOVE it !!!!!

Can't speak of the other though.

Definitely go with the lil 59. Its got a nice full chimey sound. I love it.

i like the cool rail alot i never had a lil59 but ive had a few regular sized 59's. the cool rail is a bit more focused & slightly brighter. IMHO they are very similar, i do think the 59 can get abit muddy with higher gain, the cool rail doesnt.

count me as a Lil 59 fan, I've got one in my Tele and it's a great great pickup.

I've heard that the Cool Rails is like a PAF humbucker sound, just a little smoother than a '59.

dont know if it was the difference between the lil & full sized 59 but i thought the 59 sounded a bit smoother than the cool rail.
