Ralf first... Volume pot, yes, yes, and yes. The Tone pot, yes, the blue is the ground to the output jack. As for the jack itself, it's mono, as there's no battery necessary, so I used a mono jack. So it's getting the white from lug #2 of the volume pot, and the blue from the tone pot. (I just so happened to have some 22 gauge wire in blue and white on hand) I've looked at the jack like, maybe 5 times now, lol. I tested by looking for continuity with my meter, put the black on a ground, and red on every hot lead, nothing, as it should be. Then the opposite, which I'm pretty sure would be the same as the first test. I went overboard with every ground to hot combo, and it all checks out. I'm thinking a cold solder joint now, as I was having trouble getting solder already on a pot case to reflow; I was using a 30w iron (started with an 18w). I do have a really old Weller Gun, seriously, from 1958 that was my older brother's when he went to vocational school, but I've heard they are too hot for this stuff.
Kent, I'll move the bridge ground directly to the output jack as you suggest, there is enough length there. Maybe I should get a proper soldering iron, like one those Weller's with the temp control? I have 2 more projects of old guitars to put back together, so that wouldn't be a crazy purchase. Anyway, thanks all, I hope you're all safe and well.
