Have a pick guard and installing wilkinson M series Pickups

[McCreed]

Some quick observations:

First, I'd take out the kit neck pickup and put the Wilkinson in there. There's no need for it if your replacing it and it clutters things up visually.

Something tells me this switch may have been wired backwards as to what I need for the neck to middle to bridge configuration goes...

It's not really backwards, as much as it is just incorrect. See my comments below.

IMO, there is no need to replace the switch unless it is faulty. Installing a Fender-style switch may be problematic with the depth of the control cavity and would unnecessarily complicate things for you at this stage of your build experience.

NECK PICKUP:
The red & white wires from the neck p/u are suppose to go to Lug #6. They appear to go to Lug #3.

The yellow lead (HOT) from the neck p/u is supposed to go to Lug #1. It appears to go to Lug#4.

I can't tell where you're grounds for the neck p/u are going in the pic.

MIDDLE PICKUP:
The red lead (HOT) from the middle p/u looks to be correctly soldered to Lug #2.


BRIDGE PICKUP:
Red & white wires from the bridge p/u are supposed to go to Lug #8. There is currently no wire soldered to Lug #8 and I can't see where the red & white wires are going at all.

The yellow lead (HOT) from the bridge p/u is supposed to go to Lug #3. It appears to go to Lug#6.

Again, I can't see where the grounds for the bridge p/u are going.


SWITCH to VOLUME/TONE CIRCUIT:
You currently have soldered a wire from Lug #1 to the volume pot. That wire should be come from Lug #4.

There should be a wire going to ground soldered from Lug #7. You currently have nothing soldered to Lug #7.

The red white pair that's simplified to a red wire with white and shielded with the ground being the shield and soldiered to the pot in a cluster. The grounds aren't obvious on the two Jumpers that connect the buckers to the lugs. This is how it was setup originally, I haven't touched the pots. I have my bridge and Neck swapped. I went ahead and ordered a switch to upgrade, TBH I don't really like the switch the way it's been setup, If I play with the lugs I'm afraid I'll bust them, I'll have the kaish within the next 2-3 hours. I can then wire things EXACTLY as they need to be and there will be no doubts as to what is really going where. I'll still keep my jumper setup as if I don't for now, I don't have extra wire to extend the yellow wires or the grounds from the HB's.

Okay, so, the Pick guard is all wired up, just need to buy some washers to put on top of the nuts that go under the pots and replace a nut.
