A Bernie arrived from Dave's today. Everything about the guitar so far seems perfect except for the switch. The switch works fine in neck and bridge positions, but in the middle position I get nothing from the neck and the bridge volume is intermittent and maybe scratchy at best.
Question: Should I send it back, is it an easy fix (I am guessing yes, but it's my first electric and I don't want to screw it up), or should I talk to them about it or do something else? So basically, what's the best course of action. I would have to take the guitar up the road 40 miles if I have to take it to a shop, and that's not going to happen in the next two days.
I have basically Thursday to figure this switch problem out as it arrived this evening. I came really close to getting the 594 last week before it sold, but I talked myself out of it because it's my guess that Bernie's are not going to be available much longer at these kind of prices where there will be some version of a 594 out there for the foreseeable future. Also both were used and if the Bernie were a dud I am not out too much where I would be a little more anxious about the 594.
Pictures to follow once I get this switch sorted out.
TIA,
Tom
