Hey guys, so I'm working on a Les Paul knockoff of mine. Completely gutted the electronics and putting in CTS pots, a Switchcraft jack and toggle switch, etc.
I'm having issues with the toggle switch I bought. When I first got it installed, I noticed that, when attempting to flip from bridge pickup to middle position, there was so little resistance that it would go straight to neck pickup. This is a BRAND NEW switch, by the way.
So I took a small flathead and slightly bent one of the tabs (I guess the one that disconnects the bridge when engaged) to provide more resistance. That worked, but now it seems that the contact points aren't actually making contact when the switch is in the middle position, meaning dead silence in the middle once this thing is soldered up.
I kind of don't want to screw with it and mess it up more, so I figured I'd come here for advice from those more knowledgeable before I ruin the switch completely. Thanks.
