Hi everyone,
I am the proud new owner of a T486, the standard red model. Looks and plays great, but it seems like the pickup wiring is a bit funky. I'm trying to figure out what might be going on with the wiring, and where to begin. Here's what happening:
Bridge Pickup selected: Both volume knobs and tone knobs control the sound (!). Lowering either volume knob takes the sound down all the way.
Both pickups selected: Same behavior as bridge pickup selected.
Neck pickup selected: Works as you'd expect.
I did notice a blob of solder on one of the wires, although both pickups do seem to be working. It leads me to believe the problem may be at the toggle switch? But I thought I'd ask the opinions of the good people here, and how you might go about troubleshooting this. I'm pretty good with soldering, but how much of a pain is it to yank the electronics?
