Re: NewBee Introduction
There has been some debate regarding those. The seller buys perfectly good instruments and parts them out!falconfixer wrote:I did see in the FS section 'stripper' guitars - just body and neck. How often can i expect to see those? That sounds like it would be a good way to go...
Some agree with this philosophy as it makes some parts that are normally hard to get, available, but at the cost of losing a good, usually virtually new instrument in the process.

Re: NewBee Introduction
If you have a ohmmeter you should check the coil on the bad pickup - measure across the gray shielded wire off the pickup where it is soldered to the switch and shield to the body of the potentiometer. It should read around 8000 ohms (8k). If it reads good, look at the action of the pickup switch blades and make sure it makes contact when selected. Nice MG!
