Wiring Gurus: HELP! SUHR HSS Wiring w/ Triple-Shot?

[Sean327]

Hi All. This is my first post on a forum that I regularly ghost. Unfortunately I need to ask a question that I can't find an answer to, but will HOPEFULLY be fairly straightforward...

I'm installing SUHR HSS wiring in my strat with two single coils and a P-Rails humbucker in the bridge. Specifically THIS harness:

Beautiful, ain't she?

I want to use a Triple Shot on the P-Rails to open up all the possibilities, Ideally what I want is:

Neck
Neck+Middle
Middle
Middle+whatever part of P-Rails I have selected on the Triple Shot
Whatever part of the P-Rails I have selected on the Triple Shot

The problems being that:
1:The standard SUHR HSS wiring diagrams I've found are for four-conductor wiring, and while there are four wires coming out of the P-Rails, there's actually only 3 coming out of the Triple Shot (two of which are ground I think).
and 2: The standard SUHR HSS wiring has an auto-split on the middle+bridge position, which obviously won't work with a triple shot.

Can someone please explain to me if what I want is even possible and if so, how to do it? A diagram would be awesome. I'm obviously a total wiring noob.

Thanks so much in advance!

welcome to the forum!

what you want is totally possible and pretty simple. i dont have the ability to make a diagram but hopefully someone will stop by and whip something up for you

Thank you so much Jeremy. I eagerly await a response from one of the many extremely knowledgeable members on this forum.

Also, as a note to anyone who doesn't know; the SUHR HHS wiring has the neck and middle pickups seeing 250k and the bridge pickup seeing 500k, and it's done using a Fender Super Switch. There's also a treble bleed on the volume pot. Ideally I want one shared tone pot for the two single coils and one tone pot for the humbucker.

Thanks in advance!

do you have a link to the suhr diagram? you really only need to pull the auto split off

That super switch is what's confusing me!

You can always use a regular 5 way switch and save the super switch for a project that needs it.

Unfortunately it won't work with a regular 5-way. The super switch is necessary to have two different value caps for the different pickups. The point of the Suhr HSS wiring is that the single coils "see" 250k and the humbucker "sees" 500k, but you need a super switch to do it.

Did you get it? I think Jeremy is right and you just have to remove the red and white from the equation. Put the white wire from the triple shot to where the black wire in the diagram is going. And put the black and bare wire to ground.
