Hey There,

I bought my first Strat about two months ago. It's an American Deluxe HHS. I absolute love it! However, a couple days ago I ran into a problem.

I always set my guitar to the bridge pickup when I play with a high-gain/distortion sound, and switch to the neck pickup to play clean. The neck pickup has always had a very full and crisp sound. Well last week I was playing a set and I quickly switched from distortion to clean, switching from Bridge to Neck pickup. When I did this; there was an unusual drop in volume, AND tone. The neck pickup has lost it's bass and mid range, and is almost entirely treble. It also sounds... distant? Like it's presence has been cut. I don't know if it's the S-1 switch or the pick up and I haven't the slightest clue how to fix it.

Please help!

Thanks.

Sure enough, the pickup looks like it's dropped down. How should I go about fixing that and how do I know how far away from the string it should be?

Good.

But why did the pickup drop off the end of it's screw - if that is what has happened? It must have been set amazingly low to begin with. Even then, it wouldn't fall off the screw unless adjustments were being made.

Strange...

Screw very loose in the thread on the pickup, perhaps? If so, this can happen again, and that needs addressing.

Cheers - C
