Guitar Wiring help!

Post by brandon. »

So I'm wiring a friends guitar...
3 pickups, 3 on/off switches, 3 knobs.
1 master volume
neck/middle tone
bridge tone

I wired it all up but I'm still running into problems. Can anyone fill in the blanks in this picture for me? Just draw the wires from the switches to where they should go for the seperate tone controls. I know what makes sense to me, but it doesn't seem to be working, so I'd love to see what I'm missing.

Except wire from the middle to the same tone pot as neck and wire from the bridge switch to the pot the middle is connected to.

Whats the issue? Is there just no sound or are the tone controls just not working? Or is it something else?
