My AO 50s Tele started having a problem recently, where the neck pickup stopped working randomly. I opened up the control plate, de-soldered the pickup, checked it, seemed to be working fine, re-soldered back and the same problem happened again.
I assumed it was the switch, so I went to the local shop and bought a 4 way switch (no 3 way switches were available) and fell in love with it.
Tonight, it happened again. As soon as I opened the control plate the pickup started working normally again, leading me to believe it's the wires that are shorting out at some point within the control cavity. I realized I can cut the pickup wire, but then the wire would be too short to be soldered back on.
Anyone faced the same issue, and if so, how did you resolve it?
