Pickup selector?

Sign in to disble this ad
My selector has some crackle in it and seems to have a short in it, beside the fact of the plastic ring holding it on is cracked.

Just a standard 3 way selector. Which ones have yall used? Something sturdy and to look sharp on a black body.

To you try a quick squirt of contact cleaner to see if it'll get rid of the crackle, but if you're set on replacing the selector I've ordered a few from Stewmac that worked fine.

Yeah, I don't care for the feel of it plus the ring on the threads is cracked. I'll have to buy something to fix it anyway, might as well buy something of more quality.

Yeah, I been mixing a whole crap for so long on Sunday nights I don't know how to mix half a crap anymore. Maybe if ya'll lose the electric guitar player, then half the crap will go away?

This is quite possible. I tried gashing his hand with a box cutter but a hydrocodon and he's back again.
