lol as expected I toasted the switch. I always seem to overheat switches when desoldering (I did the same thing on my strat a while back) Replaced with a fender 3-way switch and everything works now.

The top tone knob of the concentric pot controls the Bridge and the Neck pickup is controlled with the knob closest to the pickguard. (note: Neck tone pot ended up wired where counterclockwise turn of knob increases treble... Bridge pickup tone knob is wired normally to increase treble with clockwise turn) I must have goofed up on a wire, but seems to function fine otherwise. Next time I do a build I think I will use 22gauge wire cause 18gauge is just too thick for small terminals like concentric pots.

Here's some pics. Thanks for all the help!

You're welcome!

If those anomalies in your wiring doesn't bother you, enjoy. If they do, reverse the respective lead wires coming from the tone pots to the pickup terminals on the selector switch and for the pot that works backwards, literally wire it backwards from the way you have it now.
