Hey so I've been trying to get my electronics working on my custom tele and for some reason I can't get it to work... it's pretty simple (compared to other guitars)
~2 Humbuckers (I have 2 sets... one set is 4 conductor, the other braided 2 conductor) ~3-way switch ~Volume knob.
The guitar also has an original floyd rose...
If somebody could help me out with the wiring schematic I can't seem to get this working...
Thanks!

Hello and Welcome!
Which set will you be using? And what have you done so far that doesn't work?

Well from what I figured I would go with the braided 2-conductor since I'm not doing any coil splitting... I have the 4-conductor in there right now but I'm planning on pulling them out and putting them in my other guitar that has a 2-hmb 4-conductor wiring.
So far I just went with what I got from a book on guitar wiring... I took it to a guitar tech and he said it was done right, so I don't know exactly what's wrong with it... sorry I'm not too sure exactly what I did *sigh*
The problem is that the only guitar I could find with the same setup is the Jim Root Tele, but because he uses EMG's everything in that guitar is solderless... plus the wiring in general is different (I took a look at one of the schematics on the EMG website... really weird....)
Is there a website or something for designing schematics???

Yes. you're at one. But we don't need to reinvent the wheel for a basic Tele diagram. If you are using 2-conductor HBs, they get wired just like a SC. Is it 2 plus a braided shield, or is the braided line one of your 2? Either way, the original Fender Telecaster wiring diagram should do you just fine. The tone pot is a separate module which can be "detached" from the rest of the scheme. The only other issue would be the type of 3-way switch you have. I was assuming a regular Tele switch, but you did call it a "custom". If you already have it all wired, but not working, I'd compare what you have to the std Tele diagram (minus the tone), see if perhaps you missed something. If all looks good, further troubleshooting is in order. Some well-focused photos of what you have now may help, too.
