P-Rails wiring question.

[iguanaman]

I installed a single P-Rail in a guitar with a three way toggle and a single volume pot to no avail. I used the diagram from the website that shows how to wire up two and just used one side of the switch. I have a jumper wire giong across for the ground position, otherwise it seems right. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Well, what's not right about it? Are you only getting one half of the pickup? What are you going for?
Remember, the P-Rail is basically 2 2-conductor pickups on one baseplate - a Rail and a P-90 - so it's got to have both halves wired to get the full thing.

I'm still trying to figure it out. I have looked at a couple of different diagrams, and it seems to be right. I think it might be a grounding problem. I can't get any sound out of them at all yet.

I got it figured out finally. Bad 5 way switch. Worked on it till the wee hours of the night to get it strung and set up. I can't wait to put it through it's paces tonight.
