Les Paul pickups wiring issue

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.

You just want to play an LP again... I guess it will take you several weeks to fix?

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