Guitar Pickup Switch Repair & Replacement in Redding, CA
Crackly, loose, or dead pickup selectors, plus new switching options and kill switches.
The pickup selector gets flipped more than anything on the guitar. Over time it gets dirty, worn, or loose, and you get crackles, dead positions, or a guitar that cuts out mid song.
A crackly switch is often just dirty and cleans up quick. If it’s worn out, we replace it with a quality part and solder it in clean. That covers 3 way toggles on Les Pauls and SGs, blade switches on Strats and Teles, and everything in between.
Want more sounds? We can convert a 3 way to a 5 way, add a super switch or rotary for extra combinations, put in a mini toggle for a coil split or phase, or add a kill switch.
Bring it in and flip it for us. Most switch fixes are done in a day or two.
