Hi! 
I've run into a problem with my otherwise nice warmoth-strat. Two humbuckers wired to a Dimarzio EP1111 3-way switch a la Petrucci-style, meaning 1) neck 2) one coil of each in series 3) bridge.
When working properly, it's killer. But every now and then one of the pickups just went quiet. At first it was just the neck pickup and just temporarily (back & forth, sometimes just as I flicked the switch a couple of times). I decided to re-solder the wires and after that it worked fine. For a while. Now it's the same problem and worse, I actually had a gig some time ago where I had to finish a heavily distorted rock song playing only on the neck pickup due to a suddenly dead bridge pu...
Clearly, now it's unbearable and I would like to fix it! So I wonder if anyone else has experience with the EP1111 switch? Any problems? I remember a luthier I talked to who said that it's a nice switch but you never know how long they'll last.
As I said, it's been a bit back and forth but right now the I have only got sound from the 1) neck -position. Though, I can actually hear some sound from the 2) & 3) -positions as well but reaaally low. Like 1% and only noticed with loads af gain.
I've excluded the possibility that the pickups themselves are broken due to that I first had problems with the neck, but now it's the bridge pickup. Other than that, I don't really know.
Any tips?
