Soldered a Jazzbucker into the neck position of my Squier Super-Sonic recently. I think I got too stoned from the solder, because I ended up messing the whole deal up. I even screwed up the bridge JB that has been in place for six years.
So...I took it to my local luthier, I pay up, he says it's all good. But it's not.
I get home and plug in and whenever I switched pickup positions (3-way toggle), the volume jumped down and kind of ramped up as I strummed.
A few days later and through a different amp, it's not so much that problem as this: when I strum really hard in bridge position, then switch to the neck, it goes out of phase and quiet until I strum hard.
Now... I presume my luthier wouldn't bull**** me. He's a good guy. When I tried to solder the neck pup in, it looked like I burned the pot a little bit.
AND HERE'S THE KICKER...
the toggle switch has been fuzzy since before the neck pup transplant...it's the cheap stock Squier box style switch.
Do ya'll think a fresh Switchcraft toggle will do the trick? Or do I have a burned out pot that my luthier did not catch?
