Anyone had a issue with theirs? Mine's been fine up to now although it's not had a grand amount of playing hours in the 1 year I've had it from new.
I was surprised yesterday when the signal was intermittent while the bridge pick up was selected. I kept having to wiggle to correct it or flick back and forth. Every other position was fine.
I sprayed a bit of Kontakt 10 on it today and it appears to have sorted it, but I only played for 5 minutes.
I don't trust that it was only some shite in the switch that needed cleaning.
Is there another likely fault? Time may prove that it was just dirty but the low amount of playing hours and the fact that it is stored in a case makes me wonder how it could get dirty. Could do without forking out for a new switch.
Thanks.

For all types, cleaning the contacts should help. Check the solder joints for continuity. Check that the metal parts of your selector switch do not intermittently make physical contact with ground points or screening materials.
I'll keep that in mind. I'll see how long it behaves now. I may even opt for a switchcraft one in future.

I take it your problem has just returned
Are these switches Gibson branded ones?

Unfortunately, superficial research suggests that the only other option is closed/covered.
In your position, I would swap out the Alnico 2 magnets and, then, add covers to hide the bobbins. Neck A4, bridge unoriented A5. Use proper thin covers.
