              I wouldn't know the year, but they are nice pickups, and worth working on to see if you can get them to work. It could (and will most likely) be a simple wiring issue. How are they wired currently? Do you have a DCR meter to see if you are getting a reading from them?

                If none of the pickups work the problem is almost certainly with your switch or Jack. The pickups are fine. It would be almost impossible for three pickups to all go bad at the same time. The problem is in your wiring,

                      So you are not getting a reading with a meter? If the pickup itself is indeed, bad, you can always have it rewound.

                          If the pickup is truly bad, you will need a rewind. The Seymour Duncan Custom Shop does them for a reasonable price. I nicked a coil on my Antiquity humbucker neck and sent it in. MJ rewound it and it sounds beautiful. They charge $75 for a rewind on a single coil, plus shipping, so you might be able to find one used on Reverb or ebay cheaper. But if not, it's worth their fee to get them to do it.

                          Which one is not working? Still could easily be a bad solder joint or whatever.

                            It is the bridge one... Ive looked in my area where I live and no one has one.. And the wire is totally shot.. Definitely needs new rewound.. Waiting on a friend of mine today to see what he can find around town... If we can't find one will just order one

                              I’d consider sending it back for a rewind. They do great work in the Custom Shop.
