PeterS Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Got an Epiphone SG (vintage worn brown G-400, this : http://www.epiphone.com/Products/SG/Worn-G-400.aspx). It seems like the pickup selector switch is wonky. It works in both single humbucker positions but in the middle position it just uses the neck pickup (found out by fiddling with the volume pots). Sometimes when I flick the switch a couple of times it works. Do I have to replace the switch or can this be fixed somehow without soldering ? Seems to be a weak point, yesterday I checked a Les Paul with similar problems... Thanks for advice ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluezguy Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Same thing on my EPI Brodway .... switch was 50/50 on whether it would engage bridge pickup. I swapped it out with a new one from Allparts ... works fine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 get some contact cleaner (namely Deoxit) , follow the directions.. that may solve the issue my sheraton switch was giving me fits, and I had ordered a new one, but a complete pass of using that stuff before we actually swapped it out resolved it.. now it works 100%. I will replace if it acts up again but for now,, t's fine. if that don't fix it, replacing it should be easy in an SG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
