So I'm close to finishing my first guitar, but I'm finding I'm somewhat lost when it comes to the wiring. I've been reading up on how to go about it but my last experience working with electronics was probably back in junior high school.
My guitar has 2 humbuckers, and I was originally planning to have 2 tone controls and no volume but I cannot find any electrical schematics anywhere for this kind of setup - only 1 vol, 1 tone. Is it breaking some rule I'm unaware of to have 2 tone with 2 Hbuckers? I would like to have something like this because I always just leave the volume at full on my strat and adjust on my amp anyway.
Also I'm still not sure what values of pots I should be using - I have a 500 and 250 but would go buy some different values if they would sound better. Also how do you know which (lugs?) on the pots and 5 way switch do what?
I've read some people use the bridge as a ground? I can't really get to the bridge in my guitar, could you use a screw that is mounted inside the wiring area or something as a ground?
here are some images of what I'm working with:
