Common Electric Guitar Faults We Fix
- Crackling or cutting-out output — a dirty or oxidised output jack socket, or a cold solder joint on the jack lug.
- Dead or weak pickup — a broken coil wire inside the pickup, or a cracked magnet.
- Volume or tone pot scratching — carbon track wear inside the potentiometer; cleaned with contact cleaner or replaced.
- Fret buzz — a high or uneven fret, a backbowed neck, or incorrect string action.
- Switch noise or dead positions — worn contacts on a 3-way or 5-way pickup selector switch.
- Tuning pegs that slip — worn gear sets or a cracked peg head insert.
- Nut slot too wide — strings buzz and go sharp after every bend.
- Broken truss rod nut — stripped threads that no longer allow neck relief adjustment.
