I replaced the electronics and pickguard with a loaded pickguard from guitar fetish (but NOT gfs pickups). Worth noting that the stock ceramic bar pickups sounded better than the AlNiCo 3's I replaced them with.
In the end, I realised that I would still need to sink way more money into the guitar to get it to the point where I was happy with it. I wasn't prepared to spend more, so I got it in decent working order, and sold it.
Here's some pics. The first pic is before I installed the new pickguard properly and remived the plastic film. The second pic is how the guitar looked at the time I sold it.

Too bad it didn't sound or play well--that is such a great looking guitar!!
