Lost in Translation, H/H 1 vol 2 tone 3 way

I think i am missing something here.
I'm trying to put a Custom Custom in the neck and a Pearly Gates in the bridge of my Warmoth strat. i checked out the schematic for 2 humbuckers 1 volume 2 tones in the wiring diagrams section and it shows a gibson style switch.
I checked out the 3 way switch translation and it shows the gibson switch having a ground. how do i wire this with a blade switch?
Thanks in advance for your replies!

do you mean the custom custom in the bridge and pearly in the neck?


can you post the links

Is the ground coming from the input jack? If so, just ground it on a pot.

*edit*

Forget what I just posted. I checked the diagram. I have a 3 way blade in my HH tele. I didn't ground the blade. Just wire it like diagram says so (I used the one you posted). Seymour won't steer you the wrong way. ;)

The ground lug on the Switchcraft three-way toggle selector is for its chassis.

On a Fender, the switch chassis is grounded by physical contact with either the metal control plate (Telecaster) or the screening material on the rear of the scratchplate (Stratocaster).

thank's guys! this is a rear routed guitar, but i have the pickup cavity lined with copper tape. i'll just run a ground wire off one of the pots to the copper shielding.
that one had me scratching my head.
Thank's again!
