ok, so here's the deal, I've got a cheap $150 ibanez as some of you know. now, for sentimental reasons (first guitar) I can't sell it. so I decided to completely redo it. but I need some help. ok, so what I want to do is completely redo all the electronics, so, there's where I need help, I'm going to be converting it from a s/s/h to a h/s/h with a 5 way pickup slector switch, with the 5 positions being:
Position 1 (closest to neck): Neck pickup
Position 2: neck and middle pickups
Position 3: middle pickup
Position 4: neck and bridge pickups
Position 5 (closest to bridge): Bridge Pickup

I'm going to do 2 500k pots, one master volume and one master tone. so, what I need to know is how to wire this all together, and also which capacitors are good for what sound. I also need to know which kind of wire is best to use.

And I'm also open to suggestions if you guys have any ideas as to what else I could do with this thing.

P.S. it's got one of those hipshot tremolos, so I would ground to that.
