Genhows Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I've got a Harmony Les Paul copy (possibly '69), the neck pickup can be heard just fine, but when I switch to the bridge I have to turn the amp volume all the way up just to hear the faintest sound, what could it be? By the way, I am new to guitar hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiz Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Check if the pickup is too far from the strings. -That can make it more quiet. There's also a pretty good chance the pickup just crapped the bed. I mean, it's around 40 years old. Changing pickups is pretty fun and easy. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Sorry if I seemed sarcastic, its because I was. Honestly, take the guitar to a shop if you arent comfortable doing the work, and have them check it out. Probably bad wiring, electronics, pickup, something.

Genhows Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 yeah, I think I should just put it away, buy a DC-59, buy a Gibson Neck/hardware and restore the crap out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzboy Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Check the soldering to make sure you have good connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
