Looks pretty sharp there Buddy, real anxious to see and hear the finished product. You have done a very fine job on that lap.

Glad to see you back. Hope you had a good time in France. That is one sweet looking guitar. Can't wait to hear it.

Xavier, astounding work from whichever angle you look at it! Your sense for artistry, detail and love of your work shines through so clearly.
Your wiring problems should be solved in a jiffy- someone here has gotta know, and guide you.
All we need now is to hear/see a video clip - preferably with you behind the guitar.
Nice work my friend!

Banjo:
If you post the diagram you have, maybe someone here could clarify it for you.

That's a double-decker 6 position switch, using 3 of the 4 6 position switch-sets.

Turn switch anticlockwise (as seen from the knob) to its physical end-position, and control-measure (ohm it) which outer solder-pin/point connects to which one of the center pins. That outer pin/point is No.1 on that switch-set.
The outer solder-pin/point 180 degrees across on that deck is No.1 on that switch-set, and will connect to the other center pin on that deck. Same on the other deck, where you only use one half of the deck.
Map the switch up on paper from there, and start soldering wires according to the diagram.
