This is how the guitar seems to be wired:
One terminal (upper) on the 3-way pickup selector is connected to one
terminal of the bridge volume control.
One terminal (lower) on the 3-way pickup selector is
connected to one terminal of the neck volume control.
The middle terminal of the 3-way pickup selector is connected to the bottom
terminals of the kill switch.
The middle terminals of the kill switch are connected to the metal side-body
of the kill switch.
The metal body of the 3-way selector is connected to the metal top of the
neck volume control.
The metal tops of the two volume controls and two tone controls are all
soldered together (except the two tone switches); the metal top of the
bridge volume control is then soldered to one terminal on guitar jack (where
the guitar plugs into the amp); the neck volume control is also connected to
one of the wires coming out of the bridge pickup and neck pickup.
The other terminal of the guitar jack (the middle terminal of the guitar
jack is unused) is connected to the middle terminal of the three-way pickup
selector.
The terminal (which is also connected to a terminal on the 3-way pickup
selector) on the neck volume control is connected to a what looks like a
capacitor which in turn is connected to the 2 of the terminals of the top
tone control (the remaining terminal is unused).
The terminal (which is also connected to the bridge pickup) of the bridge
volume control is connected to a capacitor which in turn is connected to 2
terminals on the bottom tone control (the third terminal on the tone control
is unused).
I guess that pretty much covers how the whole guitar is wired.
Thanks for any help ,
Mark
