Guitar Pickup Wiring Schematics

Is Guitar Center a good place to get a guitar wiring problem fixed?
Hi. On my 2nd pickup replacing project, I replaced the bridge pup in my Epi SG with a Super Distortion and after a couple days of playing it with perfect results, the neck pickup went out and now I get no sound out of it. I know it’s got to be some really stupid little mistake that I made and since I looked over the schematic forever and couldn’t find my error, I guess I have to take it to a pro. Would Guitar Center be a good choice or would I pay less taking it to a local shop?
Hang on. You successfully installed the pickup, everything worked for a few days and then the other pickup went dead? It sounds to me like you did everything right but in handling, one wire came loose. Have you taken it back apart to double check your work? That’s the first thing I would do. Trace the wires from the neck pickup and make sure the solder connections are good and that no wires are crossed or hanging loose.
This is sure to be an easy fix for any guitar tech. Since I do all this stuff myself, I honestly don’t know if GC would be cheaper than a local shop. Why don’t you give them a call and ask their hourly rates?
