I'm quite the guitar newbie, so I apologize in advance if my lingo hurts your eyes.

I noticed recently that the sound cuts outs when I switch between bridge/neck pickups. I'll then have to jiggle the switch and sometimes cable to get it back. It also seems to happen if I knock the cable a little. The jack for the cable has always been loose (which I hate) but it never caused issues before.

I am sure I will have to further explain, so please help guide me. The guitar is an Epiphone Special II.

Thank you for any help!


EDIT: Ehh, scratch that. After sacking up I pulled apart the jack myself. It was just really shoddy workman ship. Everything was misthreaded causes connectivity issues. I fixed it.

Good for you. That's about what I had to do with my Les Paul Ultra. I posted a question here also.

I think he meant going to bed.
