    @robsmith,

    As to how I decided on how to wire things up, I followed those 3 YouTube videos above right from Pitbull's own channel on how to wire up the EXA guitar from Pitbull.

    So, I'm looking at the diagram that you linked to, and I think it matches exactly with how I am wired and the sketch I provided.

    --Both of my pickups ground to the back of the volume pot, and the hot wires go to each end of the 3 way switch (check)
    --one lug on the volume pot is bent back and grounded to the volume pot (check)
    --one lug on the tone pot is going to one lug on the volume pot (check)
    --a capacitor is on the middle lug of the tone pot and grounded to the back of the tone pot (check)
    --the middle lug on the 3 way switch goes to the tone pot (on the same lug that the tone pot and vol pot are connected using (check)
    --the 3 way switch ground is connected to the back of the volume pot (check)
    --the hot wire on the tip (outside lug) goes to the center lug on the volume pot (check)
    --The earth wire on the sleeve (inside lug) goes to ground on the top of the tone pot (check)

    Edit: the only thing I can see that I left off my sketch was the ground wire to the bridge. I do have that it place. However, I have it grounding to the volume pot instead of the tone pot < I assume that is okay as ground is ground.

    Keep the suggestions coming guys, I appreciate all the help (as always).
