The 5-way switch works like every other Strat®, but the push/pull pots add the magic. The forward pot (the volume knob) is the master volume control and turns on the neck pickup when pulled. The allows you to combine the neck and bridge pickups as well as all three pickups depending on where you set the 5-way switch. The two tone nobs, push/pull pots, control the functionality, modes, of the P-Rails humbuckers. With both knobs pushed down, both P-Rails are in series. With both tone knobs pulled up, both P-Rails are in parallel. Alternating on knob down and the other up will give you P90 mode or single coil mode depending on which knobs are up or down.
The bottom tone knob controls the tone of the bridge pickup, while the middle tone knob controls the tone of the middle and neck pickups.
This loaded pickguard should be grounded to your guitar by utilizing the bridge ground and body ground wires that should be on your Strat® from the factory. If you're building a new guitar from scratch then you will have to source some 22 gauge ground wire.

What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
