Hi Everybody--
I finally put the budget Squire together tonight, sans the new paint job (still looks beat up, but has a nice new scratchguard on it). I am having some problems with my wiring job. The neck and middle pickups (standard single coils) sound great and are louder than sin. The bridge pickup (P-90) is about as silent as a mouse. I can get a little sound out of it, but my thought would have been that a pickup with that many coils of wire in it would be even louder than the other two pickups. I'm using a Gotoh Tokai P-90 I bought on eBay. There's a red lead, a white lead, and a bare ground. If I'm not mistaken, my brother used the red lead as the hot.
Does anyone have any ideas on where I goofed?
Thanks!
