Re: Multimeter shows pots resistance instead of pickup resistance when connected to j
With GFS the colors appear to be the same as Throbak...
Black is the start of the screw coil (-) which goes to ground,
White is the finish of the screw coil AND the finish of the slug coil. Under the tape around the coils of the pickup those two wires are connected to each other and to the white wire that you see. This is the wire that is used to split the humbucker to a single coil (the slug coil). If this wire is taped off/isolated then the two coils of the pickup are in series and are both active and humbucking.
Red is the start (+) of the slug coil and is considered the hot/lead wire which goes to the volume pot input lug.
Your GFS diagram shows Modern wiring. The Throbak diagram shows 50s wiring. It's all a matter of where the tone pot connects to the volume pot.
These are the wires and connections that you see in your diagram. If the white wire is connected to a switch which can connect it to a ground (back of pot) you can split your pickup.
