yeah we will see when you get time to take a photo of the underside of the pickguard. With the amount of bad connections and loose wires think that's the best option Doc

I'll just take a quick pic of the pickguard as is, I've just posted a couple of hand-drawn diagrams of the wiring from what I've been able to work out so far, there's also a description of what each switch is supposed to do.


Here we go, this is what the wiring under the scratchplate actually looks like, note that I had to cut some cable ties in order to be able to trace the wiring:




Here's what I've been able to work out, the three position switch closest to the pot, which is closest to the bridge pickup, is supposed to be the switch that switches between Single-Coil/Humbucker + Single Coil/Humbucker only.

The pot right next to that switch has to be the master volume control since one lug is soldered directly to the case, and the pot measures about 250k.

The pot next to the master (middle pot) volume is supposed to be the tone control, it has a push-pull switch on it that is supposed to switch the phase of the middle Humbucker as far as I can tell.

The switch next to the Tone pot is supposed to switch the Humbucker from Series, to Parallel, to Split coil mode.

The pot next to the tone control is supposed to be the Bass-Cut control, it also has a push-pull switch that is supposed to switch the Neck Single Coil/Humbucker in Series.

The big toggle switch next to the Bass Cut control is supposed to switch between the three pickups from what I can work out.
