P-rail, stack, vintage wiring - 4T3P rotary + 5-way blade

Hello all,

Sorry, but my first post is a request for help. I have merged 2 wiring diagrams (both sources noted - 1 is SD) plus an idea I got from Lindy Fralin's site into a wiring diagram I am hoping to get comments on. I intend to use a 4T3P rotary to get single, series hum, parallel hum, and P90 tones to input as the bridge to the 5-way. The 5-way is a standard strat wiring, except I want to use a 500k V and single 500k T. I've included 500k resistors for the N & M (so they see 250k), the idea for which I got from Fralin's site. Put together, there will be 3 knobs and a blade switch appearing as a conventional strat.

I know there are many folks active on this site who know way more about wiring than I do. If you get a chance to have a quick look at the diagram and give me a comment if you think it will work, it would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. - I have searched everywhere I could and have not found something similar, which is why I'm asking for help. Thanks very much!

Looks good to me, but I'd do one little mod. On the rotary, take the two "4" terminals that aren't connected to anything, and short them together. Take the "3" terminal that isn't connected, and jumper it to ground.

If you were in a high noise environment, the P-90 coil could still pick up noise, and induce it on to the adjoining smaller coil. By shorting it out, you suppress that possibility. Shorting "3" to ground does the same for the rail coil.
