wiring question.

in Making & Modding
so I want to wire up a build that has a mini hum-bucker in the neck, hum-bucker in the bridge. one volume. one tone. and a three way switch.

The bridge is kent armstrong two in one which you can wired up one way, its a 13k, wired up another its an 8k.

so I'd like to use a push / pull on the tone to have a 13k and the 9k options.

does this look like the right way to wire this up before I start?

 

as always any advice much appreciated. 

Best

Mark

    Nearly. As you’ve got it drawn, the bridge pickup won’t work. You need to link across both sides of the push-pull switch, or move the green wire to the right-hand side - linking all three across is more reliable.

    The volume and tone pot casings also need to be connected together. The jack ground is best connected to the volume, not the tone.
