    Hi Nitro, judging by the reverse side of the pickguard shot I reckon you have them facing the right way.

    Did you run a multi meter across the wires to see if either PUP had a higher or low impedance as the lower impedance usually goes in the neck position? If they read the same no big deal as you can balance the noise level by raising or lowering the PUP's to get the desired separation when using the 3 way toggle switch. Personally I prefer to have most PUP's at similar volume and allow their positioning and tonal characteristics do their thing without suffering dramatic drops in noise level when switching between them.

    No doubt plenty others will jump in with their opinions too and that is fine as it all comes down to what works best for you the player, not what everyone else thinks.

    Looks like you will have a ton of fun experimenting with all the sound combinations once fully wired up.

    Thanks WAZ for all your help, i have a multi meter but not quite sure what settings to have it on to get a correct reading, any clues?
    Quick lesson in impedences?

    btw i like both pups to have the same volume level.
