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 0.033 µF to the south start lead from Neck.
  2. Solder a black wire from the south start lead from Neck to the south start lead from Bridge.
  3. Solder a black wire from the south start lead from Bridge to lug 1 on Volume.
  4. Solder a black wire from lug 1 on Volume to the sleeve lug on the jack.
  5. Solder a white wire from lug 4, pole 3 on Selector to the north finish lead from Bridge.
  6. Solder a white wire from the north finish lead from Bridge to the south finish lead from Bridge.
  7. Solder a white wire from lug 4, pole 2 on Selector to lug 2, pole 2 on Selector.
  8. Solder a white wire from lug 2, pole 2 on Selector to the south finish lead from Neck.
  9. Solder a white wire from the south finish lead from Neck to the north finish lead from Neck.
  10. Solder a red wire from lug 4, pole 0 on Selector to lug 3, pole 0 on Selector.
  11. Solder a red wire from lug 3, pole 0 on Selector to lug 2, pole 0 on Selector.
  12. Solder a red wire from lug 2, pole 0 on Selector to lug 1, pole 0 on Selector.
  13. Solder a red wire from lug 1, pole 0 on Selector to the north start lead from Bridge.
  14. Solder a green wire from the north start lead from Neck to lug 5, pole 1 on Selector.
  15. Solder a green wire from lug 5, pole 1 on Selector to lug 4, pole 1 on Selector.
  16. Solder a green wire from lug 4, pole 1 on Selector to lug 3, pole 1 on Selector.
  17. Solder a green wire from lug 3, pole 1 on Selector to lug 2, pole 1 on Selector.
  18. Solder a gray wire from common lug, pole 0 on Selector to common lug, pole 1 on Selector.
  19. Solder a gray wire from common lug, pole 1 on Selector to lug 1 on Tone.
  20. Solder a gray wire from lug 1 on Tone to lug 3 (CW end) on Volume.
  21. Solder a gray wire from common lug, pole 2 on Selector to common lug, pole 3 on Selector.
  22. Solder a gray wire from the first leg of 0.033 µF to lug 2 (wiper) on Tone.
  23. Solder a gray wire from lug 2 (wiper) on Volume to the tip lug on the jack.
