Location: Avondale, AZ		Its a beautiful guitar but a little darker with the wood grain showing through more than my viper to be a match. However the problem is when I plug into the mono input, the bridge pickup doesn't switch on. When it is plug into the stereo input all is fine. This can't be the way it is suspose to be?

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066		Dumb question but are you using a true stereo cable? Possible that the jacks were switched at some time and the mono is really the stereo (and stereo is really mono) and only picking up the one pup.

Just a thought.

Location: San Bernardino, California		Sounds like the two jacks are swapped.

In my gallery under 'Preacher Electronics' there are some pictures of how the insides should look.

Location: Upper Left USA		In Brooklyn isn't it $200 job just to have someone come out and say they'll have to get back to you on it?

Maybe I watched too much television.

NY, is a tough expensive place, but if you scout around you can find someone reliable and reasonable.
