I'm pre-wiring a harness for my strat before I rout it and load the new pickguard in.
I always use a continuity test on my DMM before moving onto the next solder joint, just to make sure that my shiny new joints are good to go. But I just had something weird happen.
I wired up the neck humbucker (4-con) to the switch, in full on series mode (red+white soldered and taped), and checked to make sure it was grounding properly. Just for shits n giggles I was gonna continuity test the pickup. And when i went from hot to ground wires, I got no assuring beep letting me know there was continuity. Weird thing is, I immediately got a reading on the DCR, and it's registering a steady 7.7kohms, which is right around where it should be. Each coil is reading steady DCR as well. So how is there no continuity, but DCR is uninterrupted and steady?
That doesn't make any sense.
