Pretty much a simple rewiring gone wrong, something that should of taken me about 20 minutes to do has turned into a 4 hour nightmare. I've wired up simple HSS guitars just fine in the past with not a damn problem, except tonight. That asshole that originally installed the PK cut all, all of the wire off that wasn't needed, so I'm left with a 2 1/2 inch stub of wire that's apparently faulty, every time I put pressure on any of the wires, mainly the bare ground wire, the PK stops grounding and acts normal, but the second I let go, nothing, it grounds out. So, trying to cut up through the stub of a wire, I accidentally cut the black wire. shite, so I get a piece of it bare, solder on a new wire to it, heat shrink it, and now it's worse, now I have to push up on the black and ground wire to get anything. WTF is going on!!!.
The other two pickups, two Trilogy Suites, they work perfectly fine, it's just the Painkiller. I'm so frustrated I want to kill somebody. Is there any way, I can get the wiring replaced in this pickup that's not going to cost me a shite ton of money? Cause, at this point, it's all jacked up, and I'll be damned if I let a $150 pickup go in the trash because of some shite head that cut the wire too short.
