SD Antiquity bridge pickup feels weird

Just connect the bridge humbucker without the electronics. Some crocodile clips to the cable. Good first line test. Suggested many times here. Nothing will happen.

Sorry if I missed it (wow, lots of talky-talk in this thread), but has the OP done these absolute basic, easy checks yet?

1. Verified both coils are working by tapping them with something metal, like a screwdriver?

2. Measured the resistance of the pickup (using the guitar cable/multi-meter method)?

First thing I would do is rewire the Epi with a quality harness w/ 50s style wiring.The stock electronics in my Epi 335 Pro were complete junk. Tonally and physical quality-wise.

The whole wiring harness was provided by Jonesyblues: http://www.jonesyblues.com/

You mean directly to a 1/4" jack?

Doesn't matter. I usually go to the cable, with the connectors screwed open, not to the guitar's jack. You would have to disconnect the rest of the guitar from the guitar's jack for this test, not necessary.
