Jtv-59 switch

Hi all some time ago my awesome jtv-59 developed a slight switch problem, it had a crackle when you switched between the pickups, not a major problem at the time and as I was using it every gig I couldn't spare the 2 weeks plus without the guitar .....

 

My questions are:

 

1-can I get a replacement switch from anyone else?

 

2-I got the guitar from a local line 6 reseller, what happens if I go to them with the fault? Will they just send it back to line6, will I have to pay the transit cost?

 

3-the switch should be covered as my guitar is only 6 months old?

 

4-can line6 send me a replacement switch and can I fit it, it's not that hard.... Without losing my remainder guarantee

 

 

Thanks

 

Still an awesome guitar, looks like I need another :-) as a spare

Anyone want to buy/swap a jtv for a musicman sport lol

    If I knew it wouldn't hurt the axe or circuitry I'd spray with contact cleaner? That used to/still does work on regular switches! I'm new to these axes so don't do it till an expert replies!

    I suggest you open a support ticket to work directly with Line 6 on this. Under the Support tab at the top of this page, select Contact Technical Support. Then make the same selection on the subsequent page.

     

    There were problems with the 3-way switches on some early JTV-59 units. Only Line 6 can tell you, based on serial number, whether your guitar qualifies for a replacement switch, and how to go about getting it.
