Did my new guitar come broken?
Did my new guitar come broken?
yeah its clean, distortion, anything, when iput distortion on i can just barely hear it...my batteries are perfect...what it is, is the switch, i took those 3 screws out and looked in the back and started flippin the switch back nd forth and whats happening is it doesnt want to bend to the bridge pickup position, so idk i guess i do gotta take it in somewhere cus id totally kill it if i tried fixin it. :x they better be careful with my new guitar :'[
Did you try another cable?
Is the input jack on your amplifier wobbly or poorly soldered?
Did you actually take a voltmeter to your battery? If you are using Nicads or NiMH (rechargeables), those typically run at 7.2V but have may have higher mAh ratings. Use alkaline batteries to deliver a solid 9V.
Did you take an ohmmeter to the 9V terminals on the guitar to ensure good connectivity?
These are little issues that caused me to take my guitar to a shop when I was a teenager. A waste of time and money .... make sure you try all the conservative treatments first!
