Help with wiring from the Pros

[Telemanblue]

Ok so I dropped my new pick guard loaded and "pre wired" with duncan pups in to a new project strat this evening. The pups are a 1NJ cool rails in the neck, a classic stack in the middle (stks1n) and little 59 (59B) in the bridge. Soldered the jack in and it will work right? Wrong, looked up the wiring diagrams off of the Seymour Duncan web site and can see that they were almost guessing at how to wire this up. I am clear on the Classic Stack and the Little 59 but where I get confused is on the cool rails. There seems to only be a red, a white and a ground. No black or green. The diagrams all have the green and the black. Any insight on this would be great. Thanks in advance for all your help!!!

The three wires that come out of the pup are white, red and braided

It might be an older pup, without the coil-tap option.

You sure that its a cool rails, and not a vintage rails?

The older 'Rails pups were red and white. You put bare and white to ground, red to "hot". (switch).

Edit: I partially take that back. Cool and Hot Rails should have been 4-wire plus bare. It was only the Vintage Rails and Duckbucker that were red and white, and bare. (As krank said.) Hmmm . . .
