What's this button do?
There is a kid I know that tried to fix his guitar. Something about a sketchy three way switch. In the process he dropped some solder into the electronics area, got pissed off, and ended up ripping out all the wiring. Now, it seems like everything is ok inside, but how do I put this thing back together? I have worked inside guitars before, but it was always swaaping something out or resoldering joints and stuff. Is there a diagram somewhere? It is a Peavey Predator, three pickups, looks just like a strat. Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Pete
 
Shouldn't be too much trouble.Start with the jack.Tip = positive and shaft = ground.Use the "star" grounding system,with all grounds going to the jack.Don't forget the bridge ground wire!
The center tap of the vol pots is the plus returning to the jack.One of the two outside taps is where the pickup + wire hooks up.That same outside tap should have a .02 microfarad capacitor going to the tone pot.
Here is a diagram to follow...
