The newest guitar in my corral is a lovely S2 McCarty 594. Plays and sounds great, but I have occasional problems when switching to the neck pickup, it's either dead or a very weak signal. I have heard of others having this problem, and heard that the route may be too small for a Switchcraft retrofit/upgrade. I've only had this guitar a couple of months - is there a warranty fix for this, and if so, is it just a like-kind replacement? I would think if this is a common problem with that particular switch, maybe the search is on for a different switch that's a little more reliable.
I do realize that some of the components used in S2 series is what keeps the cost down, but hopefully not at the sacrifice of reliability. It's tough for live performance when the switch gives up the signal.
