I'm working on a guitar with some old mystery pickups in them. The neck pickup is a 4 wire pickup, and the best I can tell, the black wire is the north coil start and the white is the finish, and on the south coil the green is start and red is finish. I've connected the red and white wires, the green and ground and used the black as my hot wire, and the neck pickup is sounding out of phase. I switched which wire was connected to the ground wire, and it still sounds out of phase. What have I missed?
ps. Wired this way the pickup measures about 8.5k which seems like half of what it should be.
