Beautifully Broken
So last night I was playing my McSoaporina and notice that the switch wouldn't "click" into position for the neck pickup. It would click in place for the bridge and the middle, but when I switched to the neck the toggle would go back to the middle. So I took the plate off and took the switch out (still connected) and futzed around with it for a bit. It looked like the long contact strip was bent slightly out of position. So I bent it back into position and the switch would then click into place. Put the switch back in place and noticed that the middle and the neck positions sounded exactly the same. Took the switch back out and saw that the smaller contact strip wasn't engaging/disengaging properly. So I gently adjusted it's position until all three positions started working correctly.
I have no idea how these strips would have been knocked (bent) out of place for this to happen. It seemed to happened out of the blue. Oh well, at least it was at home and not at a gig. I love the neck position and it would have completely ruined me for the night if it happened at a gig.
