I'm sorry to have confused you with my reference to the star ground point, but based on am you confused me. The green wires are the signal return/ground path to the output jack. The red wires are the signal output path to the output jack. Note that no wire from the neck pickup is directly connected to the green path. A good place for the star ground point (where the bridge/string ground wire, the control cavity shielding (if used), the pickup shield wires, the ground wire to the output jack, and the signal return/ground path all merge/connect might be the terminal on the bridge volume pot where the green wires are connected. I rarely show the grounding methodology in a pickup switching/wiring scheme since there are various methods used, and there would have to be a version done for each, for each scheme. While both are important, they are rarely entwined and hence, are separate. I also presume that you've identified which pot element correlates to each concentric shaft.

Almost a year later, it's finally done! It took my brother and I all of Sunday afternoon, and some hours tonight to finish it off. The soldering isn't pretty, put it works. First time it was plugged in I was terrified by the amount of buzz and hum, but it turned out I was sitting next to the soldering iron transformer... I wanted to thank everyone again, your help was absolutely invaluable I'll post a couple of pix when it's truly complete (I haven't got the knobs yet, and the plate needs finishing touches)
