I just received my brand new Silver Sky and the bridge tone pot is acting as a volume.
The overall output of the bridge pickup is significantly lower than the others and it is very harsh sounding. Guitar is fine in all 4 other positions.
I have tried measuring the resistance of the pickups and I can’t get a reading from the bridge either no matter what. Other pickups measure 6.1 & 6.2 and sound great.
Took the pickguard off and it looks to be wired correctly. No obvious shorts to ground, switch is making contact in all positions.
looking for some testing advice or guidance as to what’s wrong.
since I can’t get a reading from the bridge pickup and the sound it makes I’m leaning towards that being the problem, but I’m very open to other suggestions.
love the guitar, don’t want to send it back if it’s something simple.
