Firstly a more suitable and appropriately active usenet forum for guitar
pickup rewinding etc ?
I worked out how to remove the electrics through the fretwork, all sorts
of
minor problems in the wiring etc but main one is no signal from one of
the
pickups.
One pickup measures 7.7K and the other megohms.
I assume no capacitor inside that one . Maybe just a break in the rather
corroded and aged-looking screened wire but the other end is inside the
pickup brasswork. Before plumbing type desoldering the casing closure of
the
pickup, I could do with some advice, as a novice at this .


Pickups should measure anywhere from 5 - 15k dc resistance depending
on being a single coil, humbucker, high output.

Next question?


This is a 12 string version

of the same guitar, the one I have here is a 6 string, deep cherry colour
version and tremolo arm.
Exactly the same fretwork , so quite a chinese puzzle removing the 2 off
paired up pots and brasswork out through the slot. The same "crackalure"
evident on the top face of the body in that pic
