Re: Epi LP + SH5 fail - need suggestions for another Bridge pup
I know it will sound strange,but unsolder the pickup completely and check for continuity among all 4 colored cables with the silver one.Also try to change the order of the coils going in series,i.e. if you had the slug coil going into the screw coil,do it the opposite way.I once found solution to the same problem that way.Also never disregard the volume and tone pots,try hooking it straight to the output just to be sure.The custom sh5 doesn't sound as you described,something is wrong with either the connections or the pickup itself.
