monk1281734155 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Hello I just purchased an epiphone DOT, (This was an online purchase from a retailer) However i have noticed that one pickup is not working. I managed to remove all the pots and pickups to check it all out, only thing i saw was on the volume pot, only one out of the two pots was grounded to the bridge. so i hooked up the other one to the loose wire. Not sure wether this was a factory mistake. I put everything back together fine, but still didn't fix the problem. The soldering on all the electrics doesnt look particurlaly neat but not sure if this would affect it. Any ideas before it goes back to the shop? Possibly a dead pickup? any easy way to check this? Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkuss Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I would have just taken it straight back. No idea what it could be. If you really like the guitar in terms of wood, finish etc maybe they'll do you a deal on a good replacement pickup and save you upgrading later?

monk1281734155 Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 If it was a local store i would have taken it straight back but since i baught it over the net, im trying to get them to collect etc. As they should have checked the guitar before it left. Its not the best looking guitar (Its straight black finish) but i shall try to get in contact with the store tomorrow i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewy1281734128 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 yeah if something is wrong and you are still under guarantee, always let them mess with it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
