On my old guitar, some of the wires are coming straight off the pickups onto the plug socket, in the earliest diagrams they seem to be going via the tone, pickup selector and volume controls...
A genuine big thanks for the link again though, as it is usefull for my other guitars, and I hope you were not thinking I was being sarcastic in my reply, because I assure you I wasn't trying to be - in the slightest.
Soldering the plug socket was quite frankly the most arkwardest thing I have ever done in my life. First I had to enlarge the hole in the guitar to get the wire back through to the plug socket, and then hold the cables in place with the tips of my finger - in the tiny opening - trying not to burn them etc. What resulted is probably the ugliest most ameturish looking bit of soldering ever. If only the wire for the plug socket were long enough to be able to pull to the outside the body...of course it wasn't so it took me about an hour (of the most frustrating back aching, fffing and blinding effort) to solder just the two connections.
At one point I litterally felt like throwing the bl**dy thing through the window in frustration
It seems to be working OK now though (though I cannot remember the low buzzing sound before), and I am waiting in anticipation for the massive electric shocks and frizzy poodle perms etc.
