Am I missing something?

First time wiring a guitar. Dual humbucker, 3-way switch, 1 volume and 1 tone pot. Pickups grounded to the back of the volume pot. Trem claw grounded to the back of the tone pot.The pickups/controls work as intended through an amp when I touch a screwdriver to the pole pieces.

What's throwing me off is the extra glop of solder on the back of the tone pot. Got the parts 2nd hand, so the solder was already there. Do I need to ground anything else to the back of the tone pot?

Help ID: CDS-055 or 065?

Bit of a niche model, but maybe someone here knows about them. This is a MIJ model from the early 90s. Wondering if this is the CDS-055 or CDS-065. I've seen this particular guitar, same color, listed as both. From what I gather the 055 had a regular lower cutaway matching the upper one and the 065 had a scallop cutaway below the 24th fret (as you can see pictured here). That said, I've found this guitar with CDS-55 stamped in the neck pocket. Can anyone shed some light here?
