Wiring help Needed

[Steelrz13]

I have designed my own wiring diagram but before I put it all together it would be very helpful if someone with more experience could look it over to make sure everything is alright.

I am going for a HSH set up with two volumes and a master tone. The volumes will each be independent controls, one fore the neck and one for the bridge pickups. Also I added a series/split/parallel wiring for each humbucker and also a phaser switch. The last thing is a neck on switch that will activate the neck pickup in any position of the 5 way switch.

I really don't want to waste a a whole day wiring this just for it to not work so if someone could please just quickly check this over it would be greatly appreciated.

It looks good to me, but I'd change a couple things. You have green and bare connected together. Normally, this would be ok, but your phase switch will lift the "chassis ground" of the neck pup. Your two bare wires should simply go straight to ground. Don't bundle them with the greens. Also, while this isn't a big deal, there's no need for that connection on the right-hand side of the 5-way. It doesn't connect to anything else. Just run that blue jumper straight to the tone/output jack.

What he said ^^
I would run the blue jumper to the first lug of the tone pot and, from there to the jack.

Thanks for the quick reply guys! Looks like I kind of know what I'm doing after all. I can't wait to get started on this, thanks for your help.

Don't feel bad. That same "mistake" is on several of the Duncan diagrams also.
