don't forget to spray the guitar cable jack as well,
some people pull out their plugs from the guitar at an
angle... and that could bend jack contacts in the
guitar... and it could cause intermittent signal flow.
Plugs should always be inserted and removed STRAIGHT
INTO and OUT OF THE JACK.
Spray the top of the switch and let it run down
into the switch... flooding the inside of the
switch... then "work out the switch physically"...
just go back and forth with the toggle handle...
for a minute or so.... then let the switch
drip-dry... it evaporates very fast... give it
about 5 to 10 minutes to dry and then it should be
clean contacts on that switch.
also spray the pots too... they can get flakey as
heck... simple atmospheric oxidation can occur on
the pot wiper arm inside the pot.
After you spray (flood the inside with cleaner),
work that pot knob back and forth, to get the
dirt out... then let it dry too... give it
5 to 10 minutes as well to dry.
The excess cleaner will evaporate fast.
so, just hose it out good with something
like LPS Electrical Contact Cleaner.
DO NOT USE WD40!

I just got my brand new IBJL Casino today from Sweetwater and it came with all of the goodies.
Sure it is a cheap cable, but it is most surely better than nothing.
Gotta love the poster and bumper sticker too.

Looks like i got everything i was supposed to get when i
purchased my NEW LUCILLE.
IF i was Epi, i'd post a link HERE at THIS FORUM so the members
could get ADDITIONAL FREE (post paid) "Epiphone" window/bumper
stickers.
A sort of... PERK for the active members....
makes sense to me....
That is the sunday school gospel truth, that is what i'd do.
Epiphone Les Paul Standard PROBLEM!

What happens is that someone had to strip the insulation from the
ends of the wires so they can soldered to the solder lugs...
well, sometimes the wire-stripper tool is adjusted improperly
and therefore it nicks the wire pretty deep, and over time vibrations
will cause the wire to break (being so thin where it was nicked).
hence... bad wire
I don't know what type of wire Epi uses but they should
be using multi-strand twisted wire and not solid wire.
