To avoid paying a professional and to gain some valuable experience, I decided to change a potentiometer by myself. Once I received the pot in the mail, common sense went out the window and I couldn't seem to pace myself. The truth is that I have no idea what I am doing.
As of now, I am staring at a diagram and my guitars loose wires trying to figure out what goes where.
I have some pictures; maybe someone would be willing to help me. I'd certainly appreciate it.

Here is the diagram that I'm looking at:

None of the pictures work.
Maybe some more info would help, like what guitar, what pickups, what pots, are they normal, or push pull, etc etc.

When I type imgur . com / and then copy and paste the rest, it works.
