My SF-4 seems to have a problem with the bridge pickup. Before I take it apart, I'm looking for some advice...
I plugged it into an amp at the store I'm helping with this week, and the bridge PUP is has noticeably less output than the neck one, and it's brighter than it used to be at least as far as I recall. I put a VOM on it and the bridge PUP measures about 4K while the neck PUP measures about 9K (this is just measuring DC resistance through the control harness. I just put the leads on the end of a short guitar cord plugged into the output jack).
So, I'll yank off the strings and tease the PUP up to see if I can see a loose wire, but if it is a bad PUP, what are my options for a drop-in replacement? The guitar dates to 2001.
Thanks, folks!
