    Yep, your wire colours are the same, but the factory has swapped around which colours are used for the various connections (compared to the image I posted). Pablo has it correct. Using the labels on the switch (image) your colours are:

    Tone 1 = purple
    Tone 2 = blue
    Volume = green
    Ground = yellow

    And, the ground connection to the bridge is the black wire.

    Does that mean the Tone 1 (Purple) need to be split??

    What do you mean by 'split'?

    The end of the purple wire just needs to be soldered across the two lugs/pads on the switch (shown as green on my image), it then acts as tone control for both the neck and middle pickups.

    Gibson.Fender have a little practice on some old components until you have the hang of how the solder melts and how much heat is needed.Take your time. Listen to Weirdbits regarding wiring he is the resident wizard.
