I just purchased a used VXT for a fair price ; the only problem is my bridge pickup does not work . Is this something i can trust the local guitar tech to fix ? The motherboard inside has me worried . Any thoughts/suggestions ? Thanks ! jamesholl Posted 2014-05-08 12:35 PM (#486417 - in reply to #486414) Subject: Re: VXT MAG PICKUP Joined: June 2012 Posts: 112 Location: Bristol England When you say the bridge pickup do you mean the bridge humbucker or the fishman powerbridge ?

It's either a short or break in the pickup, the connection or the circuit board. Two of the three are easy fixes. alpep Posted 2014-05-09 11:55 AM (#486453 - in reply to #486414) Subject: Re: VXT MAG PICKUP Joined: December 2001 Posts: 10582 Location: NJ the magnetic pickups are seymour duncan's probably just a bad solder connection DEACON Posted 2014-05-09 12:44 PM (#486455 - in reply to #486414) Subject: Re: VXT MAG PICKUP Joined: March 2005 Posts: 12 Location: NEW HAMPTON, NY Thanks for the input folks !
