Also can I confirm a few things because I think I am going paranoid and the switch and jack are never shown on wiring diagrams:

Is this the ground and hot respectively on a jack?

And is this the way the switch is wired? I am sure the black or 'hot' goes on the side on it's own. The two prongs are bent together with a blob of solder in the middle to hold them and then the hot wire is soldered on. My biggest question is does it make a difference where the hot is soldered onto this side. Does it need to be onto a blob of solder in the middle or to either side because they are connected anyway I'm guessing?

Thanks this thread is good!
