Cool, ya that's kinda what i'm lookin' to do. Thanks for the pics. So if i solder the connection right at the point where the original wires were then i should be fine? as long as i don't melt any other parts of the pickup, right?

It's hard to say whether the vintage style is better sounding or not. And believe me, I am NOT in any way saying that i can hear a difference. This is purely for aesthetic value. Plus i've got a few spools of vintage cloth, this way i can color code the wires better.
to everybody else, like i said just a second ago this is purely for aesthetic purposes.
Thanks,
