As mentioned in another thread I have a a ground hum that's above my pay grade. This started as a result of gutting the wiring of a standard LP 2 x vol./2 x tone configuration. This is only my 3rd experience building a wiring harness and my 1st time building a LP harness. As a result I am rather green when it comes to troubleshooting. Before I break down the results of the continuity tests I will share that I resoldered the grounds of the switch and jack but to no avail. Without further ado here are the results of the continuity tests.

POTS:️
JACK:️
POTS TO POTS :️
So as you can see it's rather a mess and I'm not sure where to begin. My common sense mechanism seems to have failed me. Why, for instance, would it be cold solders on the pot grounds when the multimeter alerts there is continuity? And why do I have continuity between the jack and the switch but not the bridge? Then there's the neck pickup!
I'm this close to taking it to a guitar tech. Talk me off the ledge !
