Greetings! First post, first build, old player. Be gentle... :icon_biggrin:

I followed a diagram I found in the sticky and threw in a few modifications using the parts I`ve ordered. Monkey see, monkey draw, basically.

The vol and tone pot should split the neck and bridge humbucker, respectively, when pulled. I have no idea if the inner or outer coils are staying active with this setup.
Im not sure I put the treble bleed on the right spot either, and worried about having the pickupselector wiring wrong.  :help:

If someone could chime in, I could start soldering without doubting what im gonna end up with.  :sad:

EDIT: Color coding is useful! Corrected the jack tip wire.
Black: north start    Dotted grey: north finish    Red: south finish    Green: south start

Without knowing your color code, it is impossible to say which coils are being split. However, considering that both switches are wired in the same fashion, it is unlikely that you are splitting to inner or outer pairs.

Note that your output jack's tip terminal is wired to ground. It should be wired to the wiper (middle) terminal of the volume pot. Aside from that, the wiring is correct.
 
Thank you line6man for your feedback!
I`ve corrected the diagram and updated with color coding.  :doh:
I think its splitting so that the coil nearest to the neck and tremolo are active when the pots are pulled?
