P-Rail with 5-way switch, and push-pull tone help!

[Muustache]

Hey,

I've got a P-Rail on the way, and I want to put it in the bridge of a Schecter Nick Johnston Strat.

It will be a HSS setup, with:

• One Tone (push-pull)
• One Volume (push-pull)
• 5-Way Switch

I can't seem to find a suitable wiring diagram that'll fit.... can anyone help with a wiring sketch?

Thanks folks!

M.

Welcome to the forum!

What would you like the 5 way and the P-Rail to do? You would be able to get more combinations with either a Triple Shot ring or a few push pull switches.

You should be able to derive what you want from this. But, as Mincer said, if you could let us know exactly what functionality you want, we could probably draw something up.

Awesome, thanks so much folks.

Ideally I'd like to run the P-Rails in four modes:

Series, P90, Rails, parallel.

I actually only ever use the Neck on its own, and don't really use position 2 or 3.

I'd prefer to have the Bridge in p90 and Neck pickup together as a selection.

Cheers for the help

From this diagram it looks like I could wire the P-rails to the 5-way selector to choose the different modes. I never use the middle position, so I'd be happy with neck in position one, and the rest P-Rails modes....

If I did, can someone help me out with a diagram on how I'd hook up the pickups to the 5-way?

Actually, I think I found it! Can someone check?

It gets very confusing when the positions of a 5-way are used backwards. Typically, position #1 is the bridge pup and position #5 is the neck.
