I'm working on an old Jackson/Charvel, that's been sitting in a case for years. The neck pickup appears to be dead. I'm getting no sound from it, and it doesn't register on my meter. There's nothing obviously wrong with the pickup, but there's not much to see as it has plastic covers (like EMGs) and the bottom of the pickup is covered in epoxy or something. I did try cutting the wire back from where it had been soldered in the past as it looked like maybe there was some damage to the wires at the ends, but no difference.
So my question is, what would cause a pickup to die without being handled improperly or even used at all?
