I've got Lace Hot Golds in my Squier 51 which I've been pretty happy with. Unfortunately I went to play it the other day and I thought my neck pickup was dead. If I turned the volume WAY up on my amp, I could hear it normally. I opened up the controls. It looked like some of the leads might have been bent funny, so I cut them back, re-stripped them, and soldered them back on. Same thing. I soldered the hot output to the lug for the bridge pickup (also removing the bridge pickup's hot lead) to see if the switch was the problem, but it was the same thing. I pulled out the pickup and inspected all the leads to see if something was bare/shorting somewhere, but no dice.

By the way, the bridge pup still works fine.

Thoughts?
