Hi all,
I've noticed that my Les Paul had been sounding off form of late, so did a quick reading check to see if there were any wiring issues, and found that although both pickups read fine individually, I'd get an OTT output reading of 15k - 17k when selecting the neck position. The neck is 7.6k, and the bridge 8.7k, so first thought was that they're somehow in series when the neck is selected, but the output sound doesn't seem to follow that idea. If anything, I'd noticed the guitar liefless and harsh, instead of its usual sweetness.
It's all wired in a standard 50s independent volumes setup, with your bog standard Gibson three way switch, so not exactly likely to end up in series either(?)
Any ideas?
