jrseriel Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Well i have a les paul studio, ive had it for half a year. but its 2 years old. And it has its original stock pickups in it. Lately ive noticed that if i stay in one physical position and play, after alittle it will cut out, but once i switch to my bridge pickup i dont have this probelm. Is this the cable, a possible pickup failure, or anthing else. Much would be appreciated. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 More likely a loose or poor solder connection or the pot going bad. Does pushing on the volume pot do anything? If not, remove the rear access cover and try wiggling the wires while it's plugged into an amp and a chord is ringing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Might be the selctor switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpplayer Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Highly unusual for a pickup to stop working. Has to be some other component as mentioned- cord, bad switch or loose wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewddude Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Might be the selctor switch +1 most likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesBonfire Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Do you mess around with your selector switch a lot? Trying to get odd and different sounds like you mentioned you wanted before? I also recall you talking about taking your pickups out and what not...lesson learned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrseriel Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 Thanks. And i guess you guys arent going to forgive me for my montague of questions and ridicoulas theorys. Anyways. I found out that both of the pickups go out to sooo maybe that'll change stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzboy Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 agree I think your pickup selector is not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Arcadius Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 From my (little) experience, most probably the selector, just like anyone else said... No big deal however, it can be easily fixed by your local guitar-tech guy. nothing unusual to gibson, quite often to Epi's as well... (especially if you wanna perform that kill-sound effect, just like Slash / Billy Duffy on long sustaining notes... I know I do!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
