I hooked everything up last night following this schematic:
from : localhost//support..._schematic.pdf

When I plug in, I get nothing. I think I may know the problem now and will try it out this evening after work. The threeway switch is not supposed to be grounded but I didn't cut away the copper foil shielding from the hole for the three way switch. Correct me if I am wrong but, that is closing the circuit before anything gets to the pickups. Correct?

Also, the Phat Cat has braided wire. I assume that is the ground and not just a shield. I soldered a short length of wire to it and ran it to my ground point.

THe four conductor cable has a fifth wire (to ground the shielding?) should that be connected to a ground point?

Thisw is my first foray into electronics so my grasp is not strong.

correct.

I figured it out. The signal part of the jack was touching the edge of the copper foil shielding. The electrons were not getting past the jack!

Sounds great. I love the P90 sound!
