St- vincent sterling pickup issue

[nico.levesque]

The middle pickup on my sterling Goldie is dying. I tried clearing the switch but it didn't change anything. When I play hard with a pick the sound starts cutting... I'm unsure with what pickup I should replace it with? I thought of putting a 3 way to only use 2 pickups, but I feel like its blasphemy.

Have you tried contacting customer service? A pickup shouldn't just fail.
