why do my guitar pickups sometimes cut out when i flick the pickup toggle ? sometimes when i switch the pickup toggle from treble to rhythm on my epiphone les paul special it sometimes cuts out and goes to a very dull clean sound. if i flick the switch again it goes to its normal sound. could it be dust etc stuck in the pickups or is there a short somewhere ? and what can i do to fix this ? thanks in advance.


Answer
It sounds like wiring problem with the switch. One of my guitars has a similar problem. I would take it to a guitar shot and let the techs take a look at it, if you're not REALLY familiar with guitar wiring you could actually end up doing more harm then good by trying too fix it yourself. It will cost around $30 depending on where you go though. Hope i could help you out =]
