Hello everyone, this is my first time using the board so bare with me... I purchased an Se Clint lowery about a year and half ago and have been nothing more than pleased with it. I was really surprised at the quality of the guitar for the price. By far one of the best sounding guitars I've ever purchased. A few weeks ago I put on a new set of strings (the same gauge as the originals) and then there was hardly no tone or output coming from the bridge pickup. It had sat for about a week prior to string change and was playing/sounding fine. I had changed the strings multiple times before and never had any issues. I thought maybe it was the strings so I put on a different set... No change. The only other thing I noticed was that the push pull pot seemed like it was way to easy to turn and push and would sometimes make a light crackling noise when pulled. . It had been that way since new but I thought at this point something must have a bad connection or a short. So I picked up an exact replacement pot as the original and swapped it out. Still no change. Sounds exactly the same. So then I thought maybe the pick up switch had gone bad? Replaced it too... Once again... No change.. I tested the pickup and it seems to be fine. Has anyone out there had this sort of problem before?

So does the neck pickup work? If not, maybe the jack has a bad connection. My advice is to change the volume pot and the jack, make sure all the connections are good. You don't have a spare pickup laying around you could try, do you?
