I've got a pearly gates and a dual rail single. three way switch and two push pull pots. Volume and tone of course, can anyone tell me the schematics to properly hook this up so I can have both pickups coil tapped seperately and one of my switch selections having both pickups work at the same time, while still independently choose to tap one or both pickups??

Are they both Duncan pickups? Have you checked out the extensive listing of wiring diagrams (http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/) available on the Duncan website?

Go to support/wiring diagrams. Your "dual rail single" is a humbucker in a small package so search the diagrams for a dual humbucking setup until you find the options you want. If the other pickup is not a Duncan check the wiring code at the manufacturer's website and translate accordingly.

Oh, and why not drop by "The Fret Players" and say hello? :)

I think this one is pretty much what you're looking for, other than the fact that you're using a stacked rail humbucker rather than the traditional side-by-side type:

Keep in mind that your stacked rail probably has different wire colors than the PG, so be sure to check the color coding for it.
