Wanted to check the pickup readings on a few guitars with my multimeter. Got readings on both pickups on my LP just fine. Tried the same on my Epiphone SG, got a reading on the bridge pickup but I can't get a reading on the neck pickup. Rechecked the LP, no problem. Rechecked the SG and got the same result. Plugged the SG in an amp and both pickups work just fine. Rechecked the neck pickup with the mulimeter and no reading. Had a cord into the guitars jack and had the meter probes at the other end of the cord. Red to tip, black to sleeve.
I checked some spare pickups and got readings just fine. Back to the Epi neck pickup and nothing. But again, it works fine through an amp.
What's up with this?
