Series/Parallel/North/South + PTB Wiring Diagram - Please Review!

Post by JackFawkes » Fri Nov 11, 2022 1:28 pm

This is my first draft (and first ever wiring diagram) for the P-Rails that I'm putting in my parts Jaguar.

Since I'm little better than a monkey equipped with logic when it comes to wiring, I'd greatly appreciate anyone who could take the time to scrutinize this design and verify that it functions the way I'm hoping it will.

Thanks!

Re: Double-check my P-Rails Wiring Diagram

Here's the second draft (now with PTB!) please let me know how it looks.
I especially want to make sure that all of the switches actually function the way that I've indicated, and that the PTB wiring is correct.

When researching PTB diagrams, I found a few slight variations in how the Treble-cut was wired, and also some that put Bass-cut before Treble-cut. Because of those variations, I don't feel completely confident with what I've drawn here.

Are you using Seymour Duncan official coil split pickup ring for the P-Rails? I've never used one, but otherwise I've never seen a 3-way switch that has 10 lugs...

The diagram is actually specifying a 4-way switch (DP4T), which I haven't personally seen used before, but makes sense electrically.

Ah! 4-way would make more sense. My bad! Haha.

Thank you both for taking a look! No, I don't personally like the look of the Seymour Duncan pickup rings, and the binary tree switching they use seems unintuitive to me... I think the DP4T (on-on-on-on) 4-way slide switches make much more sense.
