Question about a P-rails set

[Elmasodoacro]

Hi guys!

I have a little question about a new p-rails set I've recently bought (a hot one on the bridge and a normal one on the neck).

I saw this as the wiring diagram as the only option to put two toggle switches (though I want to put sliders, like in a Jazzmaster):

https://www.seymourduncan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2PRail_3G_2mt_2V_2T.pdf

The problem is that the guitar I want to modify is a Yamaha EG 112, so it has only 1 volume pot and 1 tone pot, so, Idk what to do. I am new with this stuff of soldering so I don't know if it is possible to modify that diagram so I can make the guitar sound properly, with the toggle switch.

Please any help will be deeply appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

PD: Merry Christmas!

If you're new to soldering, a P-Rails install probably isn't the best bet to get started on. Also while the diagram you linked will work, it doesn't allow parallel wiring which is one of the best P-Rails sounds IMO. Since you'll likely need a new pickguard anyway, why not get a set of Triple Shot rings and set them on top of the guard? That's what I did with my SG and it allowed for all four sounds from each pickup instead of the three typically advertised.

Re: Question about a P-rails set

I agree about the Triple Shots, especially if you’re new to wiring. You could then use this diagram instead:

Otherwise, if you want to stick to your original plan, this one will get you there and you should be able to translate the switch portions of the push/pulls to sliders easily enough:

Thanks for your answer man!

I thought about the triple shot, but because I bought the pickups in white I couldn't find a set of rings in that colour. Besides, is there any possibility to make a DIY alternative of the cricuit of the triple shot, it would be awesome, because the only thing that could fit that description is the diagram above

Awesome! The second may fit in my idea. Besides, I won't be alone doing that, a friend of mine who is an expert on DIY pedals and similar will be helping

Thanks!

Do sliders come in a DPDT configuration?

Yup... I’ve purchased them that way before. Seems like I got it from AllParts, but I could be mistaken.
