Wiring list

Every wire in solder order — grounds first, output last. The list is generated from the same netlist as the diagram.

  1. Solder a black wire from the second leg of 0.022 µF to the second leg of 0.022 µF.
  2. Solder a black wire from the second leg of 0.022 µF to lug 1 on Bridge volume.
  3. Solder a black wire from lug 1 on Bridge volume to lug 1 on Neck volume.
  4. Solder a black wire from lug 1 on Neck volume to the ground lead from Bridge.
  5. Solder a black wire from the ground lead from Bridge to the ground lead from Neck.
  6. Solder a black wire from the ground lead from Neck to the sleeve lug on the jack.
  7. Solder a red wire from the hot lead from Bridge to lug 3 (CW end) on Bridge volume.
  8. Solder a green wire from the hot lead from Neck to lug 3 (CW end) on Neck volume.
  9. Solder a gray wire from bridge lug on Selector to lug 2 (wiper) on Bridge volume.
  10. Solder a gray wire from neck lug on Selector to lug 2 (wiper) on Neck volume.
  11. Solder a gray wire from the first leg of 0.022 µF to lug 2 (wiper) on Bridge tone.
  12. Solder a gray wire from lug 3 (CW end) on Bridge volume to lug 1 on Bridge tone.
  13. Solder a gray wire from the first leg of 0.022 µF to lug 2 (wiper) on Neck tone.
  14. Solder a gray wire from lug 3 (CW end) on Neck volume to lug 1 on Neck tone.
  15. Solder a gray wire from out lug on Selector to the tip lug on the jack.
