I decided to check further into the pickup and I think I see a problem with the coil split wires ...looks like they've come disconnected can I tackle this?

Did you buy that thing used?
Reattaching coil wires can be done, but it's tricky. If you have to pay someone you're as well just buying a brand new pickup IMHO.Comment

Came out of an old Ibanez 30+ years ago..not sure of it's full origin...is there a full diagram on the web of the internal wiring of the humbucker ?Last edited by Cragway; 03-07-2022, 01:49 PM.Comment

I gotta agree with TCH here. Someone has converted that to a 2-wire pup. Given your soldering skills, (and I'm NOT knocking them), I wouldn't attempt that. Get a new/used pup.Originally posted by ThreeChordWonder View Post
Also, I believe Duncan themselves will redo the original 4-conductor wire for $20 + shipping.

Jeez,everyone busting my chops on my soldering skills ...
there not that bad really.I took my time rectifying the compromised pickup,anyway I'm enjoying my new to me split 30 year old SD JB,although it won't replace a true single coil it gets you in the ballpark...I gave the pickup another 30 years of service.
