I just received a classic player jaguar with humbuckers on ebay. Sometimes when i have the neck humbucker switch in the on position i get a weird overdrive/distortion sound. Sometimes it will go away if i toggle the kill switch, sometimes it won't. I am very concerned about this and want to know if there is some kind of fix before I send it back.

Welcome.

Sight unseen and sound unheard, the switch either has dirt in it, a static electricity buildup or you may have a loose wire on the switch. Worst case scenario is that the switch itself is bad. Regardless, your malady is a minor one where it would either be cheaper than or loosely the same as the cost of shipping the guitar back if you were to take the guitar to a COMPETENT tech for assessment and remedy.

Before you do anything get some electronic spray and spary the contacts on the switch
