Broken Jerry Donahue pickup??

[7turns]

The ground from the black wire to the plate is broken so a ground (?) from the yellow wire to the plate was added instead. It's now loose.
I think I can solder a black wire connection back and remove the white wire added from the yellow wire.


Thanks,

What are you talking about..."ground from the black wire" and "ground from the yellow wire"?

Black should go to plate/ground. Yellow should not.

I think the previous owner changed the polarity this way. That can be useful if a fender type pickup work together with a braided wire Gibson pickup. Otherwise you have a out-of-phase sound with both pickups on. Hope that helps!
