Update:
The good:
The grounding is all good, noise decreases as it usually did.
The bad:
No neck pickup on either rhythm OR lead circuit. On lead, when the neck is switched on it cancels out the bridge. The bridge pickup works.

when the lead circuit on my jaguar is turned on, the switches on the lower horn don't do anything

wait what?

Sounds like you have the "hot" wire of the neck pickup shorting to ground somewhere, and thus when you turn it on it kills the bridge pup as well since the hot wires are then connected, and that is then grounded, so it just grounds it all out.

Recheck your wiring on the "hot" side of that neck pickup.

Do you have a continuity tester?

It looks like you have a solder bridge between the top and middle lug on the bridge pup switch.

Yay. The LEAD circuit works completely, but oddly the rhythm still isn't doing anything, which is fine for now, as Idon't use it.

Thanks!

All I know is that I am looking forward to wiring my Jag project even less than I am refinishing it!

Hopefully you get that rhythm circuit worked out.

oh man, you've got to get the rhythm circuit sorted and play with it a bit. i know it all depends on style and tastes, but it's too a rich tone with too many possibilities to not at least have working in case. . .
