Dirt Cheap Guitar - How to Clean Your Pickup Selector Switch

Does your guitar lose sound or pop when you switch pickups? You may just need to clean the pickup selector switch. Don't worry, it's not that difficult but it is a common issue that you will have to deal with at some point.

In this Dirt Cheap Guitar, I take another look at the Squier Bullet Tele and I'll show you how to clean your pickup selector switch.

Used the deoxit and it sounds even better than before! The pickup switch isn't stupid, the tone is a lot clearer, and I'm a lot happier. Now I just have to fix a grounding issue...

Thank you for this. I recently bought a lefty SX Vintage Custom Strat copy. Sounds smooth as butter but needs this treatment.

[karkipramesh]

Exactly what I needed, cheers for the easy fix

[jamesrolwing]

Thank you so much for this! I used it on both my telecaster and Danelectro and they sound great!

EXACTLY WHAT IT HAPPENS TO MINE, THANK YOU

[jamiefischer]

Worked like a charm on my strat. Thanks for posting.

Thank you in case I receive my axe and it needs it. That's one of the first things I'm going to check out to include from your other video, the fret bar ends. I'm an old Air Force electronics technician and then familiar with that product and others. Good information!

[Ardolynk]

Thanks, hope it will work with Bullet Strat as well.

Just fixed that on my brand new Ibanez RG550. Thank you for the tip, you're a life saver!

[devvilboyy]

It's unreal how easy it is to fix it with that bottle. Guitar Center sells it for about the same price.

Hey thanks, very good and clear presentation! D5 version, exactly the info I needed before purchasing it! QUESTION: You say we can keep it for a long time, but does that mean the product will keep its strength for, let's says, many years?

thanks kevin

i'm curious, what was your first guitar, what is your most recent guitar you've bought, and what is your favorite guitar you've owned 🙂

[mikeKidLazy]

Would it be possible to make a video showing how to do the same but on a Les Paul pickup selector switch?

Anyone in the UK knows Deoxit 5 costs a fortune here.
I've found an alternative called Rapide Electrical contact cleaner.
Does the job brilliantly
