This here is a Revelation RJT60Q, an unusual asymmetric body guitar built with four pickups selected individually by slide switches, coupled to the usual tone & volume pots and supplemented by a chickenhead switch offering several selectable RC filters which can be used to alter the output style of the guitar.
Its relatively tidy on the outside...
Less so on the inside, where there is evidence of human activity manifesting itself as insulating tape and a non-functioning guitar...
Two issues: one, the two wires to the additional filters have been cut and joined together. This earths the output of the pickups...
and bending the output of the volume pot so that it touches the shielding doesn't help either!
Fixing those two issues, and re-wiring the ATN-5 circuit so that it functions as the makers intended has the guitar working again.

Apparently it now plays as intended, and as demonstrated here
