Use a wiring diagram for a 4003. Each concentric is two pots. You can wire them two basic ways. One pot can be both volumes or each can be a volume and tone. So the the forward pot can be the VT for the neck pickup and the rear knob can be the VT treble pickup.

The most confusing thing to me when wiring a guitar is the ground wires. Not sure if a Rick has them like Fenders, but if there are any be sure all of them go to ground...

Here's the schematic...lot's of grounds!.

Seems that the capacitors come before the tone pots. On the Fender it seems the other way around.
