Les Paul pickups wiring issue

Post by werdna »

Both the neck pick ups on two LPs are no longer working. It is probably my fault. Four or so years ago I put in new pickups. I may have heated up the pot too much or destroyed the insulation on the wire or something. I probably stuffed something up. Within a couple of years both front pickups became silent. Any suggestions who I can go to for a remedy? Will pay.

Happy to take a look if you want to drop them round some time.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

You just want to play an LP again... I guess it will take you several weeks to fix?
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Just rewire the whole thing, takes an hour tops and about $50 in components.
