making guitars wish they were still trees
Question for everyone today. On your non-Strat/Tele guitars that have a 3-way switch, does the treble position sometimes cut out on you? It seems like on all of mine (LP/335/339/Gretsch/Epi/Gibson/Dano - the Parker may be the exception) that have a 2 pup setup and use that same kind of toggle switch, the neck and middle positions never have a problem, but, if I flip it to the bridge-only position, I often have to flip the switch several times to get it to not sound all crackly or to get it to engage in the first place.
I'm guessing that it's doing this because, up until recently, on those guitars, I've used the neck or middle positions exclusively. Now I'm trying to use the bridge more, and some days it's almost maddening because the switch seems to be on the fritz every time I flip to it. And it seems to be this way on most all my guitars setup that way.
Anyone else have this problem? Anyone (whether you have the problem or not) have any ideas on how to fix it without replacing the switches?
