A few days ago I started to get a dreadfully strangled and distorted tone from the C6 pick-up on my 2000 LeGrande. It was only on that p/u - E9 was fine. After going back to the guitar some hours later, I found it was OK again!

This has now occurred three or four times, but I've just discovered (by accident!) that a light blow from the heel of my hand to the end of the p/u nearest me will correct the problem, bringing the rich tone back as well as eliminating the distortion. I'd suspect a bad connection, but how come it's working at all if that's that case?

By the way, there's definitely a difference in the two pick-ups - the C neck is usually warmer than the E9, and that isn't just string-gauges, but the tone when this anomoly occurs is just awful; I thought at first that I had an amp problem until I checked the E9 to find it was OK.

Does anyone have ANY idea what's happening here?

Thanks,

Roger Rettig
