I just purchased an older D-10 Shobud, and can not get any sound from it. Speaker works, as I checked it out with my six string lap. Could it be the 3-way switch, or something else. Help would be appreciated.  |

Start by plugging in direct to your amp(volume down) bring your volume up a little and flip your switch back and forth. If you have coil taps, try them. If you have an ohm meter, you should get a reading right off the guitar chord plugged into the jack, and using the switch, test both pickups.
Next, check your wiring from your speaker jack for a loose wire. If you can't get anything from either pickup, you may have a bad switch or broken wire. But if it were a broken wire, you should hear a hum. So, Possibly a pair of dead pickups--which would be really odd for both to be bad. You just bought the guitar? Did you get a chance to hear it first, or was it a long distance purchase? Maybe some of these ideas will be of benefit to you. Love them old 'buds!!  |

| Thanks, I'll try all of that. No I didn't get to hear it first. It was a long distance buy. But for the price, I think I did ok. Thanks again. |

| Make sure all connections are tight also like the nut that holds the output jack in place. If it gets loose just a bit the circuit will be broken. Also if you make a jumper wire you can check your pick-ups just before the switch. If you have sound there then odds are it is the switch. When I had my pick-ups rewound I replaced all the switches at the same time. |
