Pickup selector

Beavis · #1 06-08-2002, 08:20 AM

The pickup selector on my PGM100 is a bit dodgy, neck pickup cuts between single coil and full humbucker. You have to wiggle the pickup selector to get the full humbucker.

I want to replace it, is it just a standard Ibanez pickup selector.

Cheers

Yes it is.You could also get some spray electronics cleaner(radio shack) and see if that does the trick.

Had the exact same problem with a PGM 500 I used to have. Sprayed a little WD-40 into the selector, wiggle, and the problem never returned

.
(But probably the spray electronics cleaner musicdr suggested is safer

)

A lot of those switches use plastic parts, and lubes and "Break Free"
cleaners can weaken, if not downright melt the plastic.

Even the "tuner cleaner" is prone to eat away some plastics.

I would use a tuner cleaner, and if all else fails, just replace the switch!
