It certainly is, and I say this with all due respect... dumb.

No respect necessary! My preferred control scheme is volume, pickup selector, tone.

I ordered like 100' of wire yesterday, I hope it's enough.

As Red Green might say, just find a construction site near the house. Lots of free wire there!

I have no idea why I decided this was a good idea. Oh wait, it's not. It's a dumb idea. If anyone cares to tell me that I got this diagram horribly wrong, please let me know (yes, I drew it in Excel).

Looks good, your treble cut isn't right though it should be the same as the bass cut just without the jumper on the top.

By Odin, you're wiring is gonna be more complex than mine!

Thanks! I wondered if it should be wired like the bass cut or if it should be wired in more like a tone pot.

Both, the cap should go from the upper right lug to the lower left lug, but the center right lug (out lug) goes to ground still.

If you wanted to consolidate kill switch and tone switch you can replace one of the caps with a jumper on the treble cut and it will kill the signal in that position too.

Thanks, @Will_White I appreciate the help! The kill switch is an arcade button.

My 12 toggle switches arrived and I have an acrylic sheet coming in to use for my control plate and "pickguard." Time to book a session to use the library's laser cutter!
