I rewired everything today, no sound again. Someone suggested that it might be the switch that's gone bad... I noticed that if I press the "leaves" of the switch together I do hear a little blip of something if i hold them together for a while, though it's not instantly.

After the rewire, I got a few notes out of the neck pickup when i pushed its wire down the top of the pot. I figured that was just for ground and didn't bother wiring that in yet, so I soldered it onto the top, as well as the ground wire to the bridge... no sound again.

I then pulled the wires from the pickups through the cavity and the neck sounds distorted when it's supposed to be, but the bridge sounds clean on any setting...? The middle position doesn't work when these two work, but if i move the wires a bit, it sometimes comes on in the middle, but then either only the bridge will work with it, or nothing else will work.


So this leads me to believe it's either:

A) Something wrong with the switch.
or
B) Something is shorting out in the wires coming from the pickups.



I really don't see how anything could be wrong with it, all of the electronics were taken out working, the switch worked fine with the EMGs that were in it, and now putting the old electronics back in gives bad results?
