Couple of quickie P-Rails questions.

TBX sounds cool. I have one laying around here somewhere, but both my tone controls will be PP's for this specific wiring scheme.

500k for me as well

Definitely 500k pots.

Thanks guys. 500k's is what I ordered.

I had PRails and Triple Shots in my 335 for a long time, tried both orientations on both pickups, and eventually landed on the “as designed” rails-in configuration for both.

The reason for this was simple: 90% of the time on those pickups was spent in P90 mode, with the remainder Parallel (which kinda-sorta got towards PAF-ish tones). Series was too dark and sludgy, rail-only too thin.

I’d always thought of PRails as a P90 with benefits, so I was happy with them in that context - though eventually went back to PAF style HBs for that particular guitar.

Interesting little coda, though - I flipped a Music Man SUB1 guitar earlier this year - restored and cleaned, upgraded some parts, etc. puts those PRails in that guitar and it truly came alive - so much so that I almost kept it!

That's why I put an A8 next to the rail coil...to beef it up a bit.
