Help wiring

[G8tr]

Funny how things are; this morning i set myself up to do my own wiring ... was having issues ... looked up the community page ... and there you go, im not alone - and only by a day.
I certainly apprciate the diagram posted by McCreed; but there are some differemnces in the "pre wiring" and the diagram ... and im pretty sure they are imporatnt. I REALLY appreciate some assistance.





This is what i have: note the 3 way switch has already been bridged on 1&2 as well as 7&8, um;ike the McCreed diagram which is 2&3 and 6&7. regardless - there seems to be no similarity with the TL-1 wiring diagram in that the pick ups i have been supplied have the two wires, and the TL-1 diagram has only one. The online diagram DOES have the same bridges on the pick up switch however. Im not a great circuit understanderer ... but i can lift things.
I am mightily confused

Ok one of the long yellow wires coming off your volume pot should be the bridge earth. It's connected to the outer tang of the pot which should also be earth to the back of the pot. The other yellow wire is the output juack earth (to centre tang on the out put jack) as per this diagram (mono version)



red wire from the centre of the volume pot is the hot wire to the positive tang on the jack.

I am guessing both black wires from the pickups are earth in this case, so they can both be soldered to the back of the volume pot. The white and yellow wires out of the pickups are your hot wires, so they need to go to the outer tabs on the switch, the outer two most should be bridged I think for this kind of switch (someone will correct me if I'm wrong here) Neck should go to the end closer to the pots and bridge should go on the opposite site for the switch to work the right way (it'll still work if you swap that just back to front)


I think everything else is ok.
