You're missing the ground from your bridge and neck to the vol pot.

 

Yeah the diagram I was basing the design on didn't show the grounds from the pups, they were just assumed. I left it the same way but I guess I could add them in for reference sake. If that is the only problem with the diagram then I think I'm good to go.

 

There, the diagram is updated. I actually took a closer look at the middle pickup and found two issues. 1) There is no bare wire as shown in the DiMarzio wiring diagrams and 2) the white and black are soldered together and only about an inch long so I guess I have to add extension cables to them.

 

Here is the final wiring. I ran into some issues. The switch itself ended up not following the standard CRL type wiring so the whole thing failed to produce a signal to begin with. We wired it up with a normal configuration and he liked that better without the auto tap in positions 2 and 4 so we left that alone and replaced the kill switch with a manual coil tap. I broke the push/pull pot trying to remove the Ibanez knob from it. I hate push/pulls with pushon metal knobs. They are too fragile.

I also added a cap to the hot lead of the Tone Zone to clean up the muddiness and I swapped the leads on the middle pickups to get them in phase with each other. I also had to add a ground wire to the metal ring around the middle pickup to eliminate buzz when I touched it.

 

wow that looks good!!!

 

Thanks. He always names his guitars and he named this one Black Max a long time ago. Now it's almost solid black. I think the strings, fretwire, and pole pieces are the only thing still silver.
