Yahello, I'm new here - tread me kinldy, will ya? 
And I hope I'm in the correct section
So, I got this beauty for ~23€ on my trip through Japan

Little bit beaten up, but thats ok. By now I've removed all the glue from the left side, the sharpie stuff doenst bother me. The nut is a bit worn out, gonna try the Baking Soda + Super Glue combo and refile the nut to raise the action. Cleaned the Fretboard. What should I say, she feels and plays nice.
Now here is the problem: The whole electronics is kinda rusty, noises while turning the pots, etc. so I'm going to replace everything and have a few questions, since all i've done till now is switching PUs.
I want a HSH-Strat with 3 Volumes (neck, middle, bridge), 2 Tones (neck and middle), 1 PTB Tone Control to cut off Low-End, normal 5-way-switch, On-Off switch to enable the Bridge-PU in every position, CoilSplit for Neck and Bridge Humbucker, treblebleed on neck and middle volume. No treblebleed on the Bridge-Volume since I could use the normal volume pot to cut off a bit of the treble, if needed - I guess. Even if the 5-way-switch isn't needed because of the 3 Volumes, I still want to be able to switch "fast" between the PUs and shut them down completly. And with the On-Off switch for the Bridge I still can get all 3 PUs together when the 5-way-switch is in the 2. position (neck+middle).
First of all, I still have a Hot Rails for the bridge and one of these VIVA-PUs for the Neck. For the middle I'm gonna hold on to what is inside now, since it doesn't sound that bad. Maybe a Fat 50s in the future. Just in case the VIVA doesnt suit my taste, what would be your recommendation? I Like the Hot Rails for solos n stuff, but it kinda feels to hot for a chunky rhythm. So for the neck, I would like a PU with a chunky, thicker sound :laugh2: Maybe a lil 59?
And now the main question. How the hell do I wire this? I've tried to come up with something based on all the stuff I could find, but not sure if it's correct. (Didn't bother trying to paint the caps and treblebleed)
Sorry I'm no Picasso, haha
Oh, and if someone might know from which brand the guitar might be, based on the form of the tuners, that would be amazing. The name got scratched off from the Neck so I've no clue.
Hope you guys can help me!
