Hello Everyone - I am new to the forum and have only recently researched Seymour Duncans. But I like what I am seeing of both and would like to use P Rails and a Cool Rails set up in an HSH Strat.
Trying to find a way to get every combination out of an HSH P Rail, Cool Rail Set up.
First Question: is it possible to wire 1 P Rail to a 5 Way Switch to get the following combinations? 1. PUP off. 2. Rail Only 3. P90 only 4. Humbucker Series, 5. Humbucker Parallel? btw - this is my preferred order on the switch options, but another question follows below on that.
Second Question: If the answer is "yes" to the first question, does that 5 way switch need to be a "super 5 way switch" to facilitate the series and parallel options?
Third Question: If the answer is "yes" to the first question, can the selector be set up with options in that order? Or, is there something unique in how it has to be wired that would dictate a different order for the options. For example, where the humbucker options have to be between the Rail only and P90 only.
My thinking is having 1 5 way switch per PUP to control each PUP individually. Most switching modes for P Rails seem more complicated, usually only allow a P90 Mode and Rail Mode via push-pull or switch (i'd like to be able to Rail in the bridge and P90 in the neck and vice versa), and most don't allow for splitting the cool rail.
So, is it feasible to control all the modes of the P Rail humbucker with a 5 way switch? And, can the order of those 5 options be chosen or are the dictated in some way by the wiring? And, would the 5 way switches need to be "super" 5 way switches or just standard?
Thanks everyone in advance for your help.
