Tonerider Split Coil wiring gremlin

[WeirdBits]

So, with the pickup disconnected completely the green/white pair is giving no reading/open circuit (1 or out of range), or is that a fluctuating 1 ohm reading you're seeing?

Double-check with a higher range on the multimeter, but it is looking like the coil may be open circuit. From memory, I think Toneriders have the fabric tape obscuring the pickup lead to the coil wire connections, so you probably won't be able to see any fault without tearing it apart.

Hi Scott, with multi meter set at 200k I get 4.1 and on 20k it reads 4.22 for red & black. At 2M it reads 0.003 but 1 at 2k.
White & green on same settings reads just 1.

Strange thing is the guitar has just been stored in its case under a bed for about 12 months. Last time it was played, everything worked fine?
