P-Rail on Newer HSS Standard Strat

This may have been covered here but I could not find a posting that matched what I want to try.
I have a 2012 USA Standard HSS with 1 volume and two tones, neither of which are push / pull and a 5 way switch.
Position 1 on the 5 way is bridge only and position 2 is bridge and middle. All original equipment.
I want to try a single bridge P-Rail, I read it must be the Trembucker type, not sure if that is correct for the HSS. I want to mount it in a flat Triple Shot and leave everything else stock. (For now.)

Has this been tried? Is there a schematic somewhere?

If someone has tried it I'd be interested to hear what they thought of the tone and what, if any mods had to be made to the guitar / pickguard.

Thanks.

I'm not sure if there is a Trembucker P-Rail, but if there is, you need it for the Fender bridge spacing.

Once you connect the P-Rail to the Triple Shot, there is no "special" wiring you need; the 2 wires of the Triple Shot are all you have to work with, and you put them where the original bridge pickup's hot and ground were.
