I Don't Trust Myself

Post by wmthor »

The bridge pickup on my 360 has started cutting out. I believe the problem is the input jack, but I can't find a thread that addresses the problem. Furthermore, I don't trust myself with a soldering iron (gun) in my hands.

Any help is appreciated.

It might be the selector switch ... I suggest posting this thread under the Vibrola section.

The jack set and the switch are the two places to check first. It might be as simple as cleaning the contacts of one or the other.

Richard, we're friends, right?

It's the output jack. The input is on the amplifier.

Yes Paul, we're friends. Maybe I should just ship the guitar to you for a refinish and while your at, you can narrow the headstock and replace the Ric-O-Sound Output Jacks with Dual Mono Output Jacks. :D

I appreciate your loyalty, Richard...once I've got my backlog whittled down a bit, you are quite welcome to do just that!
