When i switch to neck pickup all is right (decent distorted sound). I had a gig yesterday night and all was fine... Do you think i should try to remove my pickup to see if some wire has displaced? thanks for the help! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I ran down to the local electronic store picked up DeoxIT. Took the caps off the pots and dripped some of it on there let it set and then came back did a quick spray and turned them back and forth/flick to get it to break up dirt. But I agree with a lot of people here, if its an older guitar or something you don't want to take a chance with anything happening. Take it to a tech have him rewire it all up get new pots/switch also. That way all your guts are new and will have the best connection possible. If there is an issue after that maybe look into replacing pickups. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
