and then combine it with this for your kill switch

not sure if this kill switch diagram is suited to what you're doing, but if it doesn't work out then let me know. I'll try to draw up a diagram

That won't work. I need the three conductors. I didn't know if anyone could draw it up like, pretty soon.

It should work, its essentially the same thing that you have. Black wire for signal, Green wire for ground and Bare wire.

btw, what kinda switch are you using for the killswitch?

DPDT, on-on?

are they chrome covered pickups?

because if they are, then the bare wire is most likely the shielding wire which go connect to ground (ie. back of a pot)

as for the red and white wires. one would be for signal(or positive lead), and the other one would be your pickup ground wire(or negative lead, which connects to ground). It would depend on the brand of the pickups. Certain guitar pickup companies use certain color codes for their wires. If you know the brand, then you can probably look it up.

But if you don't know the brand or its some random aftermarket brand then do trial and error, swap them back and forth and see/hear which one sounds better. lol

But my guess, its likely the red wire is for the signal, whereas the white wire is for ground.

switch: down=bridge

mid: both buckers

up: neck

Now:

down:neck

mid: kill ( i didn't touch anything with the jack)

up: bridge

I need to buy new pots and a proper switch

Ther's more solder on that pot than there is teeth in a shark.

Some of u guys hate finishing. ME, wiring. Such a pain in the @$$!!
