So I jumped on a used GK kit without looking too hard at the pics.  The kit was removed by cutting a few wires.  I have it all figured out with the exception of the pickup connector which was whacked and is missing.  It is a different style connector than the others.  I have decided to remove the connector from the board, solder some wires directly to the board and go to the pickup.  I have a couple questions:

Does anyone have the color codes for what pickup wire goes to what pin?
Also are pins 1&2 soldered together on your board?

If the connector (header) on the board is still in place, I would advise AGAINST removing it.

I stock the the (JST 1.5mm-pitch 8-pin) multiplugs that mate with it, if you can't locate these elsewhere..PM me for further details.

ps
I believe you are referring to pins 7 & 8 as "Pins 1 & 2" ...
