Custom tele sounds wrong

Hi
I have built a 'burnscaster' - essentially a thinline with three burns trisonic pickups but I am not happy with the sound - these pickups should sound sweet but instead the guitar has quite a harsh tone to it, and I am hoping someone out there can tell me what I am doing wrong.
Could it be the wiring circuit I have used - I have used the 'greasebucket' circuit from a highway 1, modified so that the middle pickup is brought into play using an S1 switch?
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.

Sometimes... things just don't sound good.

Out of phase ? I don't know if any of the three are RW/RP ?

Does EACH pickup sound "bad" or is it only in a combined position.
