I forgot about something Another question about the Red/Orange wires shielded with Grey wire ( to the Output I guess).. Is that is how is connected ? Shouldn't be Orange one connected to the bottom of the volume pot not the 3rd lug of the volume pot ? Also, about the blue connection at the most right of the diagram, is part of it soldered to the superswitch then the 3rd lug of the volume pot then to the 3rd lug of the tone pot then to the tone DPDT switch ? Or it is directly from the superswitch to the volume DPDT switch then to the Tone DPDT switch as the small squares are colored ? Same question for the red wire from the top of the switch till tone DPDT switch? Does I solder at the superswitch then 1st lug at the volume pot then to the Tone DPDT switch ? Also, Do I need to solder a wire from the 3rd lug of the volume pot to the bottom of the volume pot as regular ? And about the dashed wire, is it connected to the 3rd lug the tone pot at start of the wire then to tone pot bottom then to volume pot bottom then to bridge claw? Excuse me, John. I am used to the regular wiring connections. This diagram is completely new, So I am a bit scared and I want to check about everything You mean where do I live ? If that what you mean, I am living in Egypt, South Africa. But I feel you don't want that answer. If you mean where am I in the world of electronics, wiring, soldering, etc.... I am pretty new to this stuff. But they are already in my profession in the future. xD, however, I still feel that is not the answer you want..

It is a good idea to check, so I'm very happy that you are taking a careful look at this diagram - mistakes are possible! Its OK. The wiring is shown looking from the back of the controls, as if it is face down and you are looking at it as you wire it up. The push pull pots have the switches coming from the back of the pot, but I have shown them on the side to make the drawing easier I hope that is clear. For longer runs of wire, it is a good idea to use a screened wire, which I have shown from volume pot to output jack. so the outer braid is the orange colour on the diagram to carry the ground connected, while the signal is in the inner read core. On most guitar diagrams, the ground is connected to the back of the volume pot, and also to an outer lug. On this design, that job is done by the dashed wire. On a push/pull pot, there is usually a lug at the top of he switch which is part of the case, and so I have shown the dashed wire connected there. Actually, the back of a normal pots need a powerful soldering iron to heat it up, whereas this lug on a push/pull pot is easier to solder to. I coloured the switch lugs that are grounded blue, and those that are hot as red, just to help follow the diagram. When it comes to soldering it up, you can follow the route of wires that I showed, or you may find that a different route suits the layout of your guitar better. So long as the lugs that are connected by wires are all connected, it makes no difference in what order or what route you wire them, or whether all the wires come from one lug or as a chain - electrons will find there path! So you can wire it to have short wires. Of course, this diagram is just to show the connections, physically, your layout will be a bit different. Yes, I think Ive covered this above, but let me know if not clear. No problem1 I'm delighted that you are interested in this design and also that you are taking the time to be sure about it. No thats it, I just wondered where you live. We have members on most continents. Warmstrat is also in South Africa, but I don't think we have anyone else from Egypt. cheers John

Well I made a horrible mistake Egypt is in North Africa, not South. Sorry. I am very tired these days.. Exams and Study.. Well, Yea I am very interested in the diagram very much. I want to make everything clear for myself, so when I start to solder, I don't stop in the middle of the operation. That is 100% clear. New information. I never knew that That is good . Yea, I wanted to be sure that as the wire passes over a lug, it means it is soldered to it, not just passing over. Yes, I have no problem with the layout I'd like to. That diagram is ABC for me ;D. So I want to make everything clear for myself. Sometimes I think in a negative way and everything could be messed up ! Thanks. I know that I made you tired with lots of dumb questions. Well, I see that the orientation of the pickups in the diagram is S N, S N, S N.. Will that differ from N S, N S, N S... ? Or I can rotate it 180 degrees and proceed with the current wiring diagram ? Thanks a lot. Probably, I'll be the only one who will own a custom wiring like yours in the world or at least in Egypt ! As I am the first to try it in the next days, I hope Thanks a lot, Mr. John. Have a nice day !
