Here's the deal.
It's a Fender noiseless pup that's not working at all, no continuity between the leads. After some time inspecting it I found that the upper coil has the start of the winding broken just where it exits the winding and wraps around the eyelets (in Fender's case it actually goes through two holes and only one has eyelet for soldering). It broke right underneath the tape, and Fender uses clear on the upper coil so I could see what was going on. I have it sticking slightly less than 1/4 of an inch. I only peeled the tape when it was clear where the break was. I just lightly touched each end of the coil with a toothpick and I could see one end shift underneath the tape.
If that was the end of the winding I would just unwind the pup a single turn and resolder it. Is there a way I can get more wire out of it?
I know a guy that does amps and stuff for me, maybe I should take it to him, this is not my kind of soldering, if it has to be involved.
Thanks a lot, guys.
