Tripple Shot's w/ P-rails & Push/Pull phase reversal

Hey guys & gals,
I have some new p-rails coming in as well as a set of the new triple shot's. I currently have 2 push/pull 500k tone pots and would like to set up the guitar so that I can run any combination of the pickups in or out of phase. I think I have the wiring right in my head I just wanted to double check before I started. the 4 conductors from the pup's solder to the TS circuit board, the 3 conductor wire from each TS solder to the push/pull middle terminals with the phase reversal cross wiring on the other terminals. then the output goes to the vol pot then to the 3 way selector switch. then the hot from 3way to the output jack?? If someone can provide a wiring diagram that would be awesome!

Basically the idea is with the TS-1's, p-rails and 2 push/pull's I can have the following combinations
neck rail
neck p-90
neck humbucker (series)
neck humbucker (parallel)
bridge rail
bridge p-90
bridge humbucker (series)
bridge humbucker (parallel)
neck & bridge rails
neck & bridge p-90s
neck & bridge humbuckers (series)
neck & bridge humbuckers (parallel)
Neck rail & bridge p-90
neck p-90 & bridge rail
neck & bridge rails out of phase
neck & bridge p-90s out of phase
neck & bridge humbuckers (series) out of phase
neck & bridge humbuckers (parallel) out of phase
Neck rail & bridge p-90 out of phase
neck p-90 & bridge rail out of phase

I think that's correct? any help would be appreciated!

I'm not sure if I quite follow what you are saying? the series/parallel is done by the triple shot, I'm confused on your last sentence? I also just thought about that with 2 push/pull's for phase if both of them are in the pull position then both pickups would be back in phase with each other but the phase would be reversed correct?

Are you wanting the pickups to be in series and parallel with each other via the push/pull? I think that's what Hermetico's talking about.

No, the p-rails as humbuckers would be wired in series or parallel through the function of the Triple Shot. The Triple Shot would control how each pickup is split or if the two coils are in series or parallel. they specifically left the output from the TS-1 as a 3 conductor so you could still reverse the phase of the signal. I just wanted to make sure I was thinking of how to wire it correctly. from the +, -, & ground on the TS-1 to the Push/pull like a normal phase reversal so that the push/pull will switch the + & the - leads. from there the positive lead should connect to the volume pot for that pickup? or the 3 way? I think the vol pot. and then from the vol pots to the 3 way switch and from the 3 way switch to the output jack? I'm working on trying to draw up a wiring diagram for it, to make sure the signal path makes sense. I also was wondering if there is a way to control the phase switching using just one of the push/pull's so the other can be used to ground the positive lead as a kill switch?

Ok the guitar is an SG, 2 hum, with 2 vol 2 tone and a 3 way toggle. I already have 2 push/pull pot's for my tone's and I just got the triple shot's for my new p-rails. I also wanted to do a treble bleed mod on the vol pots. I'm pretty sure I have everything in my head correctly just want to make sure before I get everything and start soldering. I made a crapy wire diagram (I cut up parts from the SD diagrams so ignore their markings) it's missing the ground connecting all the pots together but I'm pretty sure everything else looks correct. If anyone can look at it and double check it, and if someone is good at making wiring diagrams and can make it better that would be awesome too!

Ahh I see what you mean so instead of the black & bare wires on the right middle lug of the push/pull I'd just put the black wire and the bare wire would solider to the ground location on that pot directly. I'll have to look into the 50's mod to see what you mean there. I already have the caps and resistors for that, but soldiering one wire is easier than 4 leads to one lug :) so I'll check it out. Thanks for the help and patience! I'll post back once I get everything in and wired up.
