Well, on the T-400 you first need to remove the big black heat shrink tubing (Schrumpfschlauch) carefully with a little knife or little scissors. Now you can desolder the green and grey pickup wires from the internal grey shielded guitar wire and you will also see which wire of the green or grey is ground and which is lead. If I see it correctly the thin green seems to be the ground wire and it is soldered both to the pickup bottom and also goes maybe to the Bigsby?how am I supposed to connect the wires to the 60ies little bucker?
Now you just connect the shielding to the red tab on the old pickup and the lead to the brown wire tab. You might have to connect the bigsby ground wire to the pickup ground as well, assuming the green one on the NS goes there? In your picture I can't see what is under that big loop of the green wire on your NS pickup, your picture is hiding that detail.
