Just over the past few days I was experimenting with a percussive technique, finishing some tunes with sustain while using my right-hand knuckles to tap on the body just behind the bridge. Not sayin this has caused a problem; could be pure coincidence.
But last night I notice the bridge pickup is about half the volume of the neck pup. Tested it through two different amps. Bridge half the guts of the neck...
These are the original pups and have never needed any repairs (as best as I know the provenance, and I do trust the vintage dealer who sold it to me). I'm guessing one possibility might be a break somewhere in the 46-year-old winding.
What else should I be considering before I take it to an expert?
Thanks,
... Thanks.
