Been looking for a solution for this problem. Gonna give this a shot. Thank you!

[Mandobird]

Excellent stuff, fixed my 3-way tele switch in just 60 seconds. Thanks!

I put contact cleaner on mine, seems to do the trick

I had this problem with all 3 of the Schecter Banshee GTs I got last year! On those, the contacts are only accessible by disassembling the switch. There is a little slot on each side of the housing, into which you can insert a flathead screwdriver and pop the circuit board off. Then I bent the contacts up for a better connection with the board, squeezed it all back together, and it works! I'm not sure how well the switch will stay together after having been pulled apart like that, but so far so good.

I have the same guitar in HSH config, this video worked ! was scary bending the pins though.

I have a Cort G300 with that problem in the bridge position too. It has those "fender styled" super switch. I'll give it a try

Excellent, right to the point. Thanks for "faint" background music.

Omg thank you so much! Worked on my Schecter!
Bought it brand new with the issue and this worked right after 1st attempt!

Not exactly what i was looking for but still a nice video adressing a common issue!

[Mestavo]

nice ! ...this problem tend to happen a lot in the Harley Benton's switches ( ...or at least in mines )

[nveloso_music]

This video came in the right time for me!
I have the same HB model and same problem, but also with the neck pickup. Will try to fix it this way.
Thanks!

Have the same issue on HB JA Baritone - sometimes bridge pickup doesn't switches, and requires extra touch. So it's not only the case with HB Fusions

[nicoloprod]

Oh I have this problem on my Fusion II !!! Very usefull video.

I replaced my selector with a higher quality switch in place of the pc board style that is so common. Simple.😊

Wish Fender Strats came with a backplate for the switches.

Thanks, I have the same problem with my SE STARLA ❤

[dylano]

Very clever little trick. Thank you for sharing!

Last month a guy came to my house with a noisy volume pot on a strat. (He brought a new pot). Anyways he asked if I could swap them out and I said sure. Did it and as he was leaving he tried to hand me $100 and wouldn't accept that I wouldn't take it . He left it on my porch.😁

Nice tips thank you, is it normal to hear little bit of scratchy noise while switching pickups ?
