sounds like bad solder joints or bad ground to the pickups. check the internal connections and be sure there tight also check the pickup solder joints at the bridge pcb for a poor solder joint ( if its either very dull or the wires are loose. check the cable connectors for the bridge on both ends. chances are they have replaced bad pickups for you. if its working ok leave it alone but if it malfunctions above is a list of what to check. also be sure the back of the pcb isnt grounding against the bridge plate . you can put a piece of tape between the two to stop that problem. one more thing the center screw on your bridge plate is the one that holds the pcb in place and creates the bridge ground. make sure thats tight theres just a nut on it and it works loose. the last thing is when changing strings cut them off close to the bridge and pull them through carefully they go through the pcb that connects your pickups and you can easily rip a small pickup wire out. same with putting in new strings be careful not to snag a wire. again check that center screw if its loose make sure the holes in the pcb are alighned with the holes in the bridge plate.

They would replace the troubled piezos free of charge, but @ a price of my inconvenience. Maybe yourselves
