Ignore that last part, Just plugged in my other LP and that's the same

Problem solved, I didnt realise that the live and earth wires for the neck tone pot are within one sheath so i soldered the whole thing in one place.I just unsoldered and seperated the wires and resoldered them seperastely and its all working. Only thing is,If you have the selector switch in the central position (i.e both pickups) then turn either volume all the way down,I lose all sound. e.g if i have both pickups selected and turn the neck pickup volume all the way down,i lose the sound from the bridge pickup too. Is that normal? I havent checked my other guitars but i will later.

Hi all, I just bought a second hand Epiphone Les Paul Studio Deluxe LTD edition. It was in a bad way when i got it.It had a loose tone pot for the neck pickup as well. I have now tightened the loose pot (The red wire on the back of the pot had also broken off) and soldered the wire back on. I restrung it and plugged it inot my amp.Now it seems the neck pickup is not working.If you switch to bridge pickup,both the tone and volume control work fine.Switch to the middle position and it quietens slightly but the neck pickup volume control operates to a point (It will get louder when turned but when you get to 8 and above it shuts off) But the tone knob has no affect. Switch to neck pickup and i get nothing at all. I have been told that the 3 way switches are prone to being faulty but the guy i bought it from has never played it so he doesnt know whether it worked to start with.I stripped the switch and cleaned all the contacts and used wire wool on the contacts but it has no effect. I am struggling to find a wiring diagram but really the wiring hasnt been touched since new.I also have an Epi les paul standard plus top but the 2 seem to be wired differently (different colour wiring too) which i find strange since they are both 2 humbuckers,2 volume and 2 control knobs with the same 3 way switch. This guitar is a 2002 so its 10 years old and supposedly never played.Is it possible it just has knackered pots even if it hasnt ever been played?
