Jim - My last question I promise (McCarty Wiring)

[Brian]

Alright Jim - Here's what I have...I'm sure you posted this on the old BAM, but I can't find it anymore.

Here's what I have...
Prs #10 pickups - wired as McCartys (shielded conductor and one other)
Push Pull Tone Pot
Standard Santana SE 3 way toggle

I'm gonna go with Standard McCarty wiring, this is my first attempt at pickups so the more help you can give the better. I promise I'm done now.

Thanks!

See if this crude drawing makes sense. The lines that are made up of 'x' characters are supposed to represent the braided shield. The black line that comes out of the braided shield is supposed to be the lead inside that braided shield. The red line from each pickup represents the extra lead from that pickup. The gray line from the volume pot to the jack is an insulated, shielded cable. (It is possible that this particular cable might not be insulated, but is a braided shield, instead.) The tone pot casing should be grounded to the volume pot casing.

Thanks Jim-
I'm pretty sure that makes sense...

We'll see when I actually get into the guts of it...I wire in a week and a half (as soon as I'm home from school)
