4001 Test Drive

[imnoone]

I set the meter on 20 Ohms and the good pickup reads 8.2. At the neck p'up, though, right before the gray insulation starts, I noticed that the white wire's insulation looked melted away. I peeled back a little of the gray insulation and confirmed that the white jacketing looks pretty cooked. At the spot where the white was melted, I managed to get a reading of .200 with the meter cranked up the 2M. This doesn't seem promising, any clue to what happened? Thanks!
