k...I think vrad and I (most vrad) got this fucker licked....(no thanks to duncan by the way..'check our forums out for some help'..um...fuck you? you made it!!..but I digress)

three way on-off-on mini toggle dpdt switch for splitting the various modes of the p rails...and that hooked up to a three way blade switch that'll allow switching from the p rails to the neck...the neck won't have any interaction with the toggle or the p rails..but that's ok...

so two knobs, a mini toggle and a 3 way blade...

what a pain in the arse =D

Close, I was actually thinking of:
3-way Blade:
P-Rails Humbucker
P-Rails P90
P-Rails Single

Mini Toggle:
Bridge
Neck

I guess either or will work..just that on the duncan diagrams the switching for the p rails is always shown wired up to an on-off-on dpdt mini toggle....but if you can get the p rails switching to work on a three way blade (like they do on the pacificas) then I wouldn't mind it either way..

:doh: three way knife: neck, neck+bridge, bridge. 3 way toggle: p90,series, blade. gets you neck + blade and neck+p90.

I think you just use a 3-way toggle for the modes of the P90 and the blade for switching pickups.

yes...but how does the wiring work..that's the burning question! lol
 
It should be something like this:

Except, you will only use one side of the on-off-on since you won't have anything else to wire to it.
Instead of the LP-style 3-way toggle, you will use a strat-style. It will work just fine.
