I have an old Aria Pro II "Thor Sound", TS300, bought it used 15-17 years ago. I have it setup like a dream, stays in tune, everyone who plays it loves it...has dual humbuckers and 3 way position switch. But the bridge pickup seems to have died on me...neck pu is fine...with the phase shift switched flipped, I can sometimes get the single coil type sound, and every great now and then I get complete bridge pickup signal. I haven't a clue where to begin to troubleshoot...pickup? selector switch? no noticable loose/broken wires or connections... I am pretty handy on electronics, but in the 25 years I have been playing, I have never personally messed with the wiring on one of my guitars... Any suggestions/troubleshooting tips would be very cool and much appreciated. Thanks dudes and dudettes

15+ years isn't really all that long, but if you're near the coast, the salt and humidity will take their toll on switches.
i'd start by checking all your switches with an ohmmeter.
i'm not at all familiar with the wiring of your guitar, but we probably won't even need to go there anyway.
my guess is, your switches need to be replaced.
is your volume control also noisy when you turn it?
