Selector switch:
1. Full bridge.
2. bridge and middle.
3. middle.
4. neck and middle.
5. neck.

yeah, with the middle on aswell?
I forgot to mention that there is a master tone and volume. and the bridge on switch is inplace of one of the tone knobs.
 
Re: Wiring guys, is this diagram correct?

Yeah, sorry. I just needed a bit of clarification.
One more question. It shows a ground coming from the output jack. The hole from the control cavity to the jack is too small to fit 3 wires through.
Does the ground wire NEED to come from the jack or can it just come from another ground point (back of pot)?
If needs be, what do you reccomend boring the whole out with to make it big enough for 3 wires?

You don't need three wires. That is actually a ground point, but the ground is in the amp. Just make the two other connections.

That diagram isn't very good, but it is correct. They shouldn't have put that on there - it's just confusing.

Haha, sorry about the diagram. Do I still need to connect a ground from the back of a pot to the trem claw?

Sure. You don't have to, but it can make a difference by quieting the guitar when you grab the strings. Or, if the club you're playing in is wired wrong, by introducing you to a life-changing jolt of electricity when you grab a mic.
