Does the neck green go to common and black from the tone pot to common also?
|
Yes, the neck's green lead goes to one common lug on the 4-way, and the black lead from the bridge pup (after a detour through one lug of the p/p on the tone pot) goes to the other common.

And does the violet go through the back lugs connecting both on the tone pot?
|
Yes. I'd call those the "top" lugs of the p/p, if that helps - the middle pair are the commons, and the pair closest to the pot would be the "bottom" lugs.

Also does the red and white wire of the neck pup go on the same middle lug together on the volume pot?
|
Yes. With Seymour Duncan pickups, the red and white leads are the "series pair". To do a coil shunt, you just have to give their "joint" a connection to ground (or hot), and it bypasses one of the coils. BTW, you may notice that I have shunted the bridge pup to ground and the neck pup to hot - and that will leave you a noise-canceling pair when you play both pups together in coil-shunt mode.

And can I use insulated phone wire to make my jumpers?
|
Any kind of insulated wire that you find easy to work with will do just fine. There's hardly any real voltage here, so there's no need to use anything other than a very light gauge wire - 22 GA is fine, and what I use most of the time. You can use solid or stranded INSIDE your control cavity, where the wires won't be moved around or flexed.
