Hi

Has anyone tried repairing the pickup coils on a GK3? I bought an ebay 'easy repair' GK3, hoping there would be something simple to fix, but it looks like three of the pickups have gone open circuit (how is that possible?).

Many thanks

Possibly the common ground track has broken between pickup coil's 3 & 4?

Is that in each pickup assembly, or on the PCB?

Has anyone ever tried to rewind a single micro bucker (for lack of a better term) on a gk? As in the coil wire broke somewhere for one string.
