Washburn electric guitar - Gav tries to fix (with video)

By Gavin Davies

My mate Craig came to me with a guitar he’d had since his teen years. He’d intended to give it to his son, but when they plugged it in, it just buzzed and sulked. Let’s see if we can fix it!

  1. Jack socket replaced
  2. Jack mounting thread dowelled so it’s not wobbly any more
  3. Brand new, high quality volume pot fitted
  4. 5-position switch cleaned. Still a bit suspect, ideally we’d replace it but all 5 positions now work
  5. Tone control cleaned. As above - ideally would replace.
