Can you elaborate on what exactly your science project is, and what specific problem you have? I don't quite understand.

Thanks!

I see, alright, I don't know that much about guitar pickup problems, but here are some websites with troubleshooting info:

Can you give any other specifics that might help with a search for a solution? The brand, model, etc.?
Other than that, I don't know what else to say, sorry!
