Hi Fellowsoldier and your son, welcome to the forum, good to see another father/son build. Great kit to start on.
With the pickup wires looks like they are coil splittable, which means you can run one coil (single coil pickup sound) or both coils (humbucker sound) with a push pull pot, but if you want to wire it up as per the PBG diagram I would tape up the bare end of the red/yellow wires which are joined and the green/bare wire will be earth and the single black wire will be the hot wire. Don't worry if the wire colours are different just follow the diagram.
Usually the pickup with the longer wires will be the neck pickup, shorter wires is the bridge pickup.
Start sanding and please post lots of progress pics !
Best of luck. Ask as many questions as you like there is plenty help and knowledge on the forum.
If you have a multimeter (not very expensive start from about $15) you can check the resistance of the pickup wires will tell you alot. Ask if you need to know more.
