    What do the grey wires represent? The bare wire/ground from the baseplate? You've got them from each pup going directly to the input of the vol pot. You've also got a switched wire (either red or purple) also going to either the input of the vol pot or to ground. That's not gonna work.

      That ground from the pickups shouldn’t go there

            I don't see offhand why that won't work just fine. The 330k vol pot may make the Mean 90 a bit dark sounding. I find that with a 500k and even a 1 meg vol pot the Mean 90 still sounds very full and rich.

            Hope you get everything else worked out.

            You know that you can purchase 1/8" drill bits about 12" long which work great for that purpose.

              yeah but i am young, stupid and impatient so im pivoting and saving that guitar body for a different project in the future. and it gives me an excuse to buy a new guitar
