And lo, it is good. In the neck position, replacing the stock humbucker (which, it turns out, is a Seth Lover). I used a pair of push/pulls to get the four sounds out of the P-Rails, and the rail is towards the bridge.
Series is a big, fairly hot, very "full" humbucking sound. Not BREWTAL GAIN territory, but one of the hottest pickups I have in any of my guitars. Still quite clear though. Parallel does indeed sound like a "classic" humbucker, with perhaps a bit more top-end. Not anything like the jangle-fest I normally expect (and like) from a parallel-wired pickup.
The P90 sounds as I believe it ought; a big, fat, punchy single coil, and the rail sounds somewhere between the middle and neck pickups on my Legacy (which makes sense, because relative to the bridge and neck it's somewhere between those two positions).
All work nicely with the existing bridge pickup (G&L stock).
I am most pleased. The bridge P-Rail I shall save for my guitar-building course, to go with (probably) a Tele neck pickup in a hideous hybrid that should never have been thought of, let alone built.
