I have a Telecaster project going and I bought this DiMarzio pickup set thinking that this is something I can put together myself. However I have come to realize that this is something I do not have the skills to do, but I know that there are many people in this forum with great skills in this area and I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction of what I need to do to finish my Telecaster. I do know how to solder but I do not know what to solder where;) How about grounding? Any advise would be great! Below are images of the parts and a diagram I received from Dimarzio.

This one can be pretty simple...I believe that these pickups have 3 wires coming out of each of them unlike most pickups....the colored wire..either yellow or white...goes to the control switch....the other two which are black and I think grey are ground....soulder these to the bottom of the volume pot.... Where on the control switch is going to depend on what kind of switch you have....if it's a basic 3 way or a 4 way....that will get you started... colored wire goes to the control switch...grey and black are ground wires....black is the actual ground wire...and the grey is the ground wire from the cover I believe....
