Hi all,
First post here after my 3rd attempt to install new Invader pickup into my Fender Meteora HH in the bridge position. I initially tried to install it by just copying the exact wiring setup as the stock bridge pickup, which you can see here: https://www.fmicassets.com/Damroot/Original/10001/SM_0143823000_Meteora_HH_PF.PDF
Both the neck and the bridge worked individually, but with the toggle switch in the middle position, the guitar was out of phase. After some research I found that the wiring for the SD is different from a Fender, so I tried again. This time I followed this wiring diagram: https://www.seymourduncan.com/images/wiring-diagrams/2H_3G_2V_1TppSPL.jpg
The only difference between this diagram and my guitar is that the Meteora has a push button that swaps the volume of the two pickups. (For example, if the neck has no volume and the bridge is turned up, toggling the button will work like a killswitch). But there is no diagram that takes this into account.
Anyway, now the bridge works fine but the neck has no volume at all. I used a multimeter to check both pickups. The bridge reading is 8ish, the neck is reading as an open loop. Not sure why as I'm about...95% sure I did not touch the neck electronics at all.
Not sure what to try now and really, getting all the strings off & disassembling this thing to get at the electronics is a PITA. Any advice before I try again is appreciated. Cheers.
