Pickup problem

[Laur Trandafir]

Hello guys, I recently bought a Schecter Syn Custom-S. It seems to have a problem though. When I switch to the bridge pickup using the pickup switch, it sometimes starts giving a very low gain output, but the other pickups work fine. When I switch the sustainiac on from the neck or middle position, there's no problem, however if I switch it on from the bridge position, it gives the same low gain output. Anyone know where the problem could be? I can't really go get it checked right now because of the quarantine stuff, so any advice is useful.

Try spraying some electric contact cleaner into your pickup selector switch. Mine does this too. Just dirty contacts.

Mine does this too, I recomend what steven said with the spray. Need to get some and do this at some point myself!

Where exactly? I’m sorry, I am not too good with electronics. On the inside?

Yeh, if u take the back cover off and spray it while also switching tbe selector it should do it

I had the same issue, and it was just low battery.

Thank you so much to everyone who replied! I fixed it with the contact cleaner. I'm really glad I don't have to send it back. Thank you!

I spray mine directly into the switch from outside the guitar, while switching it back and forth. It doesn't take much.
