ok so I am finishing up with my guitar project and i have come down to painting and the electronics. I have 1 emg select pick up that has 3 wires a thin white one thin red one and thick black one and a standard humbucker that will go in the neck and that has a thin white and thick black wire but no red. I have four pots 2 tone and 2 volume and one standard les paul 3 way switch. and final 1/4 input. how would I set this wiring up. mind that i am only a 16 year old kid so maybe if you could draw it out or something that would be more helpful. thanks.

Ok so i have built a guitar and i am trying to refinish my drumset and a friends.
First off I am going to Stain both the drum sets and guitar but I will ask the question about the guitar will come later.
I am under the impression that:
1. Get some stain like Miniwax
2. you sand down the drum guitar whatever (drum in this case)
3. get a damp sponge stain the drum
4. repeat steps 2 and 3 until you get the right color you want
5. this is were i am confused what clear coat should i use lacquer, rattle can stuff? i don't know tell me
did I miss anything? this seem right. so what lacquer should i use?
now for the guitar:
I want to do the same stuff as the drums except only stain on the top do black every where else and a stcil image on top.i do stencil graffitti and i made a custom stencil for my super metal unholy baphomet (look him up if you don't know who baphomet is) guitar , the stencil is basically a ram skull. Anyways I am going to do a dark grey stain and on top of that the stencil then a clear coat of some kind. My question is what kind of paint should I use and where can i get it? I already know 2 part is not good, espescially since i am only 16 and i don't want to get severe brain damage.
And if you hate reading here are the questions without the explanation:
what clearcoat should i use for drums and guitar?
staining proccess?
Paint i should use?
and don't worry I have all the equipment needed compressor, gun, everything.
thanks

i'm new at this so bare with me. What kind of glue should i use for putting the 2 pieces of wood for the body together. also I have seen those books were thet show you how to paint a guitar with car touch up spray paint. I was wondering if this works well, it seems the paint in the cans are the same as the paint on guitars and cars.

well for the staining I have decided on woodburst brand anything better? and for the actual paint for the back I have decided on component poly urethane. but I am still lost on what clear coat, should I just go with component poly urethane clear? i don't know there doesn't seem to be a tutorial on clear coating. don't worry I have all the needed equipment. Thanks.
