AnyColourYouLike Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 So I had problems with my Gibson Les Paul 2013. the bridge pickup had an output fade, Gibson swapped my PCB for the traditional wire and the problem is still there, should I replace it? I sprayed contact cleaner on the switch, will it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser Bill Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Small consolation, but I had the same problem with my Epiphone pup selector switch. It was replaced with a Gibson switch...and sometimes it still fails. Usually when its needed most. Murphy's Law. One of life's mysteries.... well at least my life.

capmaster Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Using an appropriate contact cleaner should work. Among my Gibsons, the Les Paul Standard 2012's toggle switch was very troublesome due to transition resistances. Finally I removed the back cover, put a cloth under the guitar, sprayed from the top and toggled a few times. I repeated this every few minutes and sometimes changed the cloth during about one and a half hours until it worked. This happened in July 2012, and since then there is no trouble anymore.

retrorod Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 These' issues' are just the problematic result of "modern-era improvements" in guitar manufacturing ......made for your guitar playing pleasure. The price goes up.....and the quality goes down with mass-produced instruments, And also, not many have pride in their workmanship anymore. Just talking "PCB" with electric guitars makes me cringe. I have seen much of their 'nastiness' in modern-era amps already...... Oh Well....Forward I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
