This problem came on suddenly this past Saturday night and I have no idea what to look for. It is breaking up like it has a loose wire but I can't find one
The guitar is a D-10 Carter and the problem is only happening to the E9th neck the C6th neck works fine
It happens with and without the volume pedal in the equation.
It will stop breaking up when you push the A or the C pedals ever so slightly and hold it there.
Any ideas on what to look for???
Thanks

Hmmm...I suspect a cold solder joint perhaps at the pickup switch? Look for a loose connection there and/or dull gray solder on/around the switch lug?
A dirty pickup switch could be the culprit as well, I suppose. Wishing you the best

Try spraying some contact cleaner/lube in your switch, then
work it back and forth several times. Also check all your cables. |

Thanks for the responses. I think Edward hit it. I re-melted the solder on one of the terminals that looked suspicious and it is working again!
Thanks! |
