WTF is wrong with my switch May 17, 2014 0:50:52 GMT

So the pickup switch on my OLP has suddenly decided it just doesn't want to be in the neck position any more. I can move it to the right spot, but it pulls itself back to the middle position the second I let go. I opened the guitar up, and tightened everything down, but that only helped a tiny bit. Now, I can get it to stay in the neck position, but if I bump the guitar at all, it hops back to the middle.

I mean, it doesn't really matter to me, 'cause I normally play in the middle position anyways. But still, I don't get it. It stays in the neck position just fine, but I cant keep it on the neck.

Anyone know what the problem might be, or how I can fix it?

I'm more curious than anything.

They say more people will come if we say guitar. Guitar.

Honestly, it's not even worth worrying about why it's become faulty. Just replace the thing. And if you're REALLY interested in what's causing it to do that, you can dissect it after you've put the new one in and gotten back to playing!

I like to play loud.

Samb1011: I won't jump in but isn't saying that the french run away from a fight the same as saying americans are stupid for driving on the wrong side of the road? This is something people do, mess with other people Mar 25, 2014 1:43:42 GMT

balbrecht: So I was working on a guitar for a friend. (It's a Fender acoustic. Something you'd get in one of those packages with a bag and music and stuff.) I was putting on some new strings, and I broke a bridge pin. Mar 29, 2014 22:13:46 GMT
