On my L6, there is no pick guard between the HB's. They actually drilled a hole between the two pups thru the middle of the body (between the back & front). I know of one way to do this, which is to use a long drill bit and go from the neck pocket right through in to the second pick up cavity. Total distance is about 5 or 6 inches. You can get long bits for this.

You said you were using a fender type jack input. I did that on my first, and just drilled at an angle from the control cavity onto the jack cavity, then cleaned it up with the dremel. Pain in the a$$, and extra work if you ask me (you have to keep unsoldering the jack to pull out the other wiring if you need to). It's probably the last Fender style jack I put into any custom build of my own. :)
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.
