Hi, total newb here so sorry if this sounds frustrating.
I recently got new pickups for my sg and began installing them the other night. After much turmoil learning to solder and what not I was able to install the pickups.
The problem is with the neck pickup, it doesn't work when the wiring is seemingly correct. To troubleshoot I soldered the hot wire to the 3 way switch and was able to get a signal this way. This makes me wonder if I damaged the volume pot, however when the hot wire was soldered to the three way switch, the volume pot was acting sort of as an on off which makes me think it's not broke.
Looking at the hot lug (I think that's what it is?) It's kind of covered in solder, could this be the issue with that connection?
Any input would be appreciated.
