Is my Stratocaster Series / Parallel Switch Wiring Correct?

Hello dear forum users.

I would like to get some advice from guitar wiring “experts” out there, because I want to do the following on my Stratocaster:

Wire a Series/Parallel 2DPT On/Off that allows me to switch between Parallel or Series in Positions 2 and 4. Also, I want a single Master Tone, Star Grounding and 50s wiring (tone after volume).

This is a schematic of the Series Parallel switch on a REGULAR strat:

But like I said, I wanna do it with a master tone, stargrounded and with 50s wiring. So I tried to “convert” the schematic and ended up with this:

series%20switch%20%2B%2050s%20wiring%20%2B%20master%20tone%20%2B%20starground%20maybe%20%21.jpg


Is my converted schematic correct? If not, can you “experts” give me any advice?

Thank you very much.

Looks good except you need to keep a ground wire leading to the bottom end of the volume pot as shown in the first diagram, or else your guitar will not be fully silent at zero.

And I don't know what star grounding is, but it sounds like a waste of time.
