Re: wiring help
What do the grey wires represent? The bare wire/ground from the baseplate? You've got them from each pup going directly to the input of the vol pot. You've also got a switched wire (either red or purple) also going to either the input of the vol pot or to ground. That's not gonna work.

Re: wiring help
lol yeah alil ive been trying to recover from ****in up the guitar body for this poject real bad. without goin to far into it the wire holes between cavitys were too small and i didnt have a long enough drill bit. but yeah like day after i posted this i realised i had the bare wire goin to the wrong place.
as far as purple and red my ideas was like a 3 switch version of the brian may wireing using on-off-on switches and i used this as my color chart

I don't see offhand why that won't work just fine. The 330k vol pot may make the Mean 90 a bit dark sounding. I find that with a 500k and even a 1 meg vol pot the Mean 90 still sounds very full and rich.
Hope you get everything else worked out.
You know that you can purchase 1/8" drill bits about 12" long which work great for that purpose.
