jazzmaster wiring help!

[absenttomorrow]

do any of you jazzmaster builders out there have pictures of your wiring guts? I have copies of 4 or 5 schematics for classic jazzmaster wiring, but some of them are contradictory and some just plain don't make much sense. I have a moderate knowledge of electronics and am fairly competent with following diagrams, but i'm having a little trouble with this one. I'll post pictures of my current wiring status later today.
thanks!

I don't have pics, but it's not very complicated... understanding how the switching works makes it easy - the slide switch selects either the neck pickup only using the roller controls, or any combination of both pickups using the controls on the lower side of the guitar.

Apart from grounds:

Jack to slide switch, middle tag side A. Upper tag side A to roller volume pot middle tag. Lower tag side A to rotary volume middle tag.

Neck pickup hot to slide switch, middle tag side B. Upper tag side B to roller volume pot top tag. Lower tag side B to toggle switch neck select.

Bridge pickup hot to toggle switch bridge select. Toggle switch common to rotary volume pot top tag.

Tone controls to respective volume pot top tags.

That's it.

hey man sounds like that jazzmaster is coming right along. go to the Seymour Duncan hompage and search around for his Jazzmaster pickups. Somewhere in there is a PDF schematic of the original jazzmaster wiring. good luck.

while you're thinking "seymour duncan" and "jazzmaster" at the same time, look at his quarter pound jazzmaster pickups, as they quite rock. they punch up the bottom and output without losing the jangle on the high end, so it still sounds like a jazzmaster, just with more of everything.
