I just bought this humbucking Tele and I'm already having problems with the selector switch. Half the time the bridge pickup won't work and there is a loud hum when it's selected. If I keep messing with it, it will finally start working and everything is fine until the next time it malfunctions. What I would like to do is replace the switch and pots with Switchcraft and Alpha pots, but I have no idea if they're 250 or 500k. I don't really want to take everything apart and leave the guitar unstrung while I'm waiting for parts. Has anyone else got this guitar that might have this info?

I don't have the guitar; but, personally, I would take/send it back where you got it from and get another one.

Hi dkratz.

Humbucker guitars from fender generally come with 500k, I doubt the "cs" is much different. Sounds to me like your switch is missing the connection. To test take the pick guard off, review the switch (if you can, if the switch is non-enclosed). If its missing a bit bend it back and you should be good to go. Contact cleaner wouldn't be a bad thing.

Having said all that, mballin is right, taking it back to the shop is probably your best bet.

Have fun either way, nice looking guitars those shiflets.
