Members jumpduck Posted August 5, 2006 Members Share Posted August 5, 2006 My boy plays an Epiphone SG clone, and he had a sudden drop in output(about 50%). I've got it opened up, looking for bad connections, but I'm hoping someone has an idea what this is. He gets signal, but just not near what he should, and we did check it with another guitar, cable, etc. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm thinking, and since I can't find a loose connection, I'll probably look at replacing those. I just thought maybe this was something I was overlooking.

Members animl Posted August 5, 2006 Members Share Posted August 5, 2006 Do some troubleshooting - Does it happen with one (or both) pickups Try jiggling the jack and switch to see if you get a momentary return of output. Also try some contact cleaner on the toggle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jumpduck Posted August 5, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 5, 2006 Yeah, all pickup positions, all control settings: no crackling or popping, just an overall lack of output. I'll try everything suggested and let ya know. Again, thanks for the input, much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jumpduck Posted August 5, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 5, 2006 Okay, apparently it's the 3-way switch, I got it to come in and out while messing with it. Thanks for all suggestions, fellas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
