Isn't a capacitor an open circuit to DC. Don't you measure an open circuit when you put a ohmmeter across a capacitor?

If you measure the bridge pickup when the switch is set to the neck pickup, the bridge pickup is out of the circuit. Am I missing something?

Most of mine are wired similar to this.
