The short answer is that 7,700 Ohms is not very close to zero. For a continuity tester to beep, it wants to see a very low resistance. More than a few tens of ohms and most meters will not tell you there's a good connection.
If you had 7.7KOhms of resistance in all your solder joints, I'd go back to pouring coffee for a living. So you shouldn't expect a continuity beep on a pickup coil, but a steady resistance reading tells you there is continuity.
