P-Rail wiring approval

[dbconley]

I'm wiring a single P-Rail "hot bridge" pickup. I've taken a pic of my wiring board with the components installed and wires "Painted" in where I think they should go and I'm wondering if my wiring is correct. I'd appreciate any advice

1. I'm using a mini toggle selector switch (on/off/on) for the pickup modes.
2. 500K push/pull for series/parallel operations (when in humbucking mode).
3. Another mini toggle switch (on/on/on) for a two capacitor tone control with middle position to have no effect. I've seen diagrams showing a 1M ohm resistor (to silence popping) and a 270K resistor for a slight cut. However, I'm not sure of the resistor placement/orientation on this tone switch.

I can confirm that your on/off/on toggle connected to the P-Rails looks good. As for the rest of it, I just can't see what's going on. It'd be better if you made a diagram.

buy some crocodile clips. You can buy a bag of them form Radio Shack for about $2.

Use the croc clips instead of wires, if it works, solder wires where the clips were.

Simple.

I had P-Rails a few years back and tried the Push-Pull method with ill results. I ended up buying Triple Shot rings and it solved my problem. I suppose the Liberator would serve the same purpose.

You can also check on the Seymour Duncan forum---some good help there.

It took me a week, but finally got everything to work as planned. My one voiced guitar now has 12.
I really should've created an electrical schematic first instead of the point-to-point drawings. That would have saved some troubleshooting time.

I'm pleased with the overall sounds from this pickup. I've attached some pics of the project.

I have a "pair" of clips on one piece of wire..lol. More of them would've been nice for sure.

I spent a lot of time this past week re-reading this post.... P-Rail wiring simplified? - Seymour Duncan User Group Forums and here...Wiring Diagrams - Seymour Duncan

I thought about the Triple Shot rings, but was determined to use my brand-new mini toggles and push/pull pot...lol.
