Yaaay so I manage to fix the pick ups issue. The rocker switches connect two angled prongs angled into each other. The problem was that both prongs that turned the pick ups on were always touching by default. So I took a pin and just pushed them back and forth until they were separated. Now the pick up selector works! I also fixed the finicky input. I pretty much just filed down the oxidized plate of metal where the instrument cord makes contact. I think I may put some GFS p90s in it during Christmas.

Interesting how much you can fix in a guitar with basically no knowledge. Its pretty simple surprisingly.
