P-rails P-90/Parallel/Rail wiring

[DavidLyon]

Hi folks, thank you for having me here. I’ve put a P-rail in the neck position of my Strat with a on/off/on mini toggle for P-90/series/rail selection. I love the P-90 and rail mode but, as many other people seem to say, the series mode leaves something to be desired. I have heard the parallel wiring config in a different guitar equipped with a triple shot, and I much prefer the sound. I have read that it’s possible to achieve P-90/parallel/rail switching using a 6 lug on/on/on switch. I have one kicking around, but I can’t seem to find any definite instructions or diagrams. SD has a diagram for series/parallel/P-90 switching using an on/on/on, but not P-90/parallel/rail. If possible I’d love to keep the rail and ditch the series option. Any thoughts? I apologize if this has been covered here before but I can’t find this exact problem addressed anywhere. Thanks!

Like this: (Note that black jumpers over to out, and green jumpers over to Gnd.)

P.S. (Since I can't edit above.)

When you look at the back of the switch, make sure it meters as Fig 1. If it meters like Fig 2, simply reverse the red and white wires.

By "meter", I mean put an ohm meter on it.

Amazing, exactly what I needed. Thank you kindly Artie.

As Artie said in his second post, it's important to know which switch you have...there are two types. In the two outer positions they are the same, but in the middle position they work opposite.

Thanks, I appreciate the welcome. I’ll be around.

When I’m measuring resistance, what lugs should I be testing? I alternated between upper and lower right/left but didn’t get a reading in any switch position.
