Hi all, first time poster here Bought a Jazz SH2N from an eBay seller (Australian based, I'm in Australia) with the intention to replace the '59 in my MIM Charvel San Dimas. The white label on the back shows "28791 20170205 SH2N NECK". It came with complete packaging, although the box wasn't sealed (are the originals sealed btw?)
Looking at the wiring diagrams and the existing guitar wiring it seemed to be pretty straightforward, drop in replacement. Well, I was wrong, the Jazz was dead and I'm pretty pissed off I haven't measured the resistance *before* starting to unsolder the 59, remove it, solder the Jazz in and all that. Pulled it out and reinstalled the 59, all back to normal.
Then I started to measure the resistance between the wires and here are the results:
Red - White: 7.28K
Red - Green: Infinite
Red - Black: Infinite
Red - Bare: Infinite
Green - Black: 7.16K
Green - White: Infinite
Green - Bare: 7.17K
Black - Bare: 0 <--- Oops?
Black - White: Infinite
White - Bare: Infinite
Looking at the humbucker color codes attached in the photo these readings don't make much sense to me. Have I been sold a dud that's been tampered with? Short of pulling it apart to see what's inside, what else can I do? Already contacted the seller.
Thanks.
