Mk1 VI wiring is very straight-forward. I did one a few years ago with Novak pickups, but not with braided pickup leads. Without knowing for sure, i reckon the braided bits would be grounded on a lug attached to the slide switch selector, or possibly to a grounding point in the cavity (although that would be a bit more of a pain to do).

Mine has Novaks with separate hot/ground wires - not vintage correct, but way easier to deal with.

Wow, this is exactly what I need to do! Where did you get the template to correct the USACG pickup routing for the 1st gen pickups? Or did you just use the pickguard as the template?

The latter. Pickguardian does a pretty accurate Mk1 guard, so that became the template.

Must say that i’m stoked to see other people interested in the Mk1 style :)

I have a 62. If you need a pick guard tracing, let me know.
