DGT bridge pickup problem

[PRS.Lujan]

The bridge pickup in my DGT is only working when coil tapped. When not tapped you can barely hear anything. Not sure what's going on. Any help is appreciated.

I wouldn't have a clue, but I bet someone here does and will respond shortly. Good luck getting this resolved. DGTs slay!

Have you rewired it recently? Suggest you pop the cover and look for loose or shorting wires. Check this out: http://www.prsguitars.com/csc/schematics.html

All the wiring is good. Removed pickup from cavity and the pickup cover came off! Looks like the previous owner took the cover off and then just pushed it back on. It was working fine til a few days ago.

The wire that connects one coil to the other may have been cut/worked its way loose...

i agree with this one. if your good with soldering, can be an easy fix. make sure to extend the copper lead away from the coil to resolder. You don't want to damage the coil. if it is potted, you should be able to still maneuver the lead out and resolder. It sounds harder than it really is. but, if you don't want to mess with it. Take to a tech who works on pickups to fix. it could be a PTC thing too. They fix everything (guitar related).
