How badly did I mess up?

[GrandWumpus]

First time replacing pickups. 57 classic plus was in my les paul, replacing with a tv Jones classic plus. In the bridge. Took this little white thing out of my guitar which the 57 classic wires were all going into. While trying to desolder, I stuck the soldering iron to the white thing, and just melted everything together. I tried to pull the wires out of the white thing and split the white thing in half. Did I completely mess up? In the pic the tv Jones is on the top, 57 on the bottom, and the control cavity in the background.

There is a guy on eBay who sells the Gibson quick-connect adaptors like the one you have broken. You just need to order one that matches your pickup wiring colors and put it back on the pickup wires. Otherwise, you will have to gut your control cavity and go with point-to-point wiring.

I'd recommend doing that anyway.

Thank you to all... I bought the adapters.
