I am a n00b so beare with me.
My electric Fake Strat makes all kind of noise when moving the pickup switch... My question... how easy to fix? It is obviously a Short. Also when playing the Pickups cut out periodically.

Re: Pickup Short
The switch is probably dirty.
You can try some switch cleaner on the pickup switch. If that doesn't work, you can replace the switch.
A new one doesn't cost much and only takes a few minutes to change.

I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
