Ted, thanks for the reply. I purchased a 4 pole pick up from skeesix, and wired it to the drawing you filed in your post. Thanks for giving additional information on how to test, Its simpler than i thought (alot of common sense).I didn't want to close up the box before i was sure everything was working fine. Thanks for your input and knowledge, its much appreciated.<br />

Shielded means that there is also a foil under the cloth or plastic. You can not wire a circuit without insulated wire. Shielded wire is best for these circuits but not necessary, I only use shielded wire on pro series instruments.<br/> <br/>
What kind of pickup are you using?<br/>
<br/>
Here's a wiring diagram to follow to get the proper circuit.<br/>

<br/>
You can test the completed circuit by holding the pickup above the strings of another guitar. Or you can hold a dremel or electric drill over the pickup and use it as a tone generator.<br/>
<br/>
If you're not good with electronics I can supply everything you need presoldered.<br/>
<br/>
Good luck!</div>
