If it is still open i'd just run a bit of stretched tin copper wire soldered across the pot cases to the jack socket... leave a little S in the wire where it joins the next, just in case a pot or the jack works loose.
'Prolly no need for a re-wire...
@samuelcroberts Yep...
But, Ground Connection via the Plate Foil... then usually the pots 'n jack are mounted with Serrated Star Washers... that eat thru the foil. So might explain the intermitancy.
I'd rewire but include the pot earth links or TCW Busbar...

What sort of Sound ya after?
If in doubt... without...
Why would anyone add a pickguard that is mainly there to cover the pickup and control wirings routing, when they have gone to the extra trouble of neat pickup routs and rear routed control cavity... makes no sense! 😉
Would £500 not be a fair SH price?
Demo @ £600 off is a bargain!
Yellowing of the inlay glue is gonna happen to them all, headstock dink is gonna happen, Loose or faulty vol pot to be investigated...
But your €£$
Play better?.. Play inspired more likely.
And with the inclusion of the mighty Hawkwind to the thread... Big Fan... how about the effect of drugs on the listener?
Some Gong on the Bong!
