I don't want to remove my pickups to test the leads, but I was wondering if I could take readings from the inside of the tele's control cavity. I tested where the hot lead was connected at the jack, and where the ground was connected to the volume put. Is this an accurate way? The numbers I got were certainly acceptable for pickups, but I don't know if there could be any sort of reaction to where the leads are soldered? I hope this makes sense...

Thanks :)
