Has anyone completed a build for this guitar yet? Just opened my packet for the pots and looking a little confused at it. Can't find a guide for it anywhere on here and most wiring on google images are for 4 pots and a switch. Any help would be appreciated, Pictures especially as im better at following pictures than directions written down
It's a 2 Humbucker, 1 Volume, 1 Tone and 3-way toggle kit, so this diagram is the basic layout. Your model just has the switch physically sitting between the pots instead of above them.
If you have 4-wire (plus a bare) pickups then black is your 'hot', green and bare connect to ground, and the joined red/white pair are the link between the coils (insulate the tip if not coil splitting).

looking at the diagram and to the guitar. i do not have a hole leading to the bridge how will i be able to ground?
There should be a hole like below for the ground wire in the wall of either the bridge or tailpiece post hole closest to the control cavity:
If not, then the easiest (and safest) option is to drill one from the post hole to connect into the bridge pickup cavity. It's a short path, easy angle and least likely to go horribly wrong.

unfortunately its not predrilled. so ill have to do that tomorrow and try to get it all put together.
Just a quick tip, drilling these holes at an angle it's awfully easy for the drill chuck to contact the body and cause a scar. Put some masking tape or something down to protect the body from getting scuffed.
Build #1, failed solid body 6 string using neck from a scrapped acoustic (45+ odd years ago as a teenager!)
Build #2, ugly parlour semi with scratch built body and ex Peavey neck
Build #3, Appalachian Dulcimer from EMS kit
Build #4, pre-owned PB ESB-4
Build #5, Lockdown Mandolin
Build #6, Sixty six body for Squier
Build #7, Mini Midi Bass
And I'd start with a smaller pilot hole for the bigger drill to have something to guide it.
