Diagram for P-Rail with 4 push/pulls and 3 way switch?

[brianbentley]

Need help finding (or figuring out) a wiring diagram for P-Rails with 2 Volume p/p, 2 Tone p/p and a 3 way switch so I can control each individual pickup instead of the current 2 p/p diagram that sets each pickup to the same setting. Feels like this is similar to the Jimmy Page mod, just needs P-Rail specific routing.

Any and all help is appreciated. Happy holidays.

I am looking for the same thing. After re-reading The P-Rails Wiring Bible, Part 1 again I am not entirely sure this will work. Only because of this line right here

"P-Rails are different to most humbuckers. In a normal humbucker, a screw coil will always cancel with a slug coil – whether from the same pickup or another humbucker. However, with the P-Rails, they’re set up so that the same coils will cancel each other’s hum. So two P-90s together will cancel hum, as will two rail coils."

So without connecting the rail from each pickup or the p90 from each pickup together I don't know if you can get the hum cancelling effect.

Jeff from wiring support was kind enough to send me this:

Hello Brian,

I am unable to create custom diagrams, and have looked through our archives and have not found one that fits your needs.
But hopefully I can explain how to modify the diagram to help you;

Here is our P-Rails with 1 volume PP, and one tone PP.
Reference this diagram to know how to wire up the P-Rails to the push pull pots.
See how there are 6 pins on each push pull, and those connections mirror each other coming of the pickups, so you can make the same connections on a second set of PushPull Volume and Tone pots.

Instead of the pickups Black wires coming off the PP to the 3 way switch, you would want to wire them to the input of their Volume pots Like a traditional Les Paul wiring, and then from the pot to your 3 way selector, then to your output.

Anybody willing/able to draw this up? I'm trying to hand draw it now, but I'm a novice at diagraming.

I just re-wired a customers PRS using this diagram I made and it worked perfectly.
Don't mind my shoddy Paint skills :lmao:
