Electric Guitar Help! Volume k**b Broken?

Question

A couple days ago, I noticed that my guitar would sometimes stop working when I was plugged into my amp, as if I had turned the volume k**b all the way down. After messing around with my guitar, I discovered that when I touch the volume k**b, the guitar acts as if it is turned all the way down, even though its not. Does anyone know what the problem is and what I have to do to fix it? I've had this guitar for a while now and it is all the sudden is doing this.

I have an Ibanez RG2EX2.

Answer 1

Spray some good quality contact cleaner in the back of the k**b and work it back and forth a bunch. That should cure it.

Answer 2

     You either have dirty contacts on you volume k**b or the volume control k**b is defective. Most good music shops carry replacment k***s and all you have to do is solder 2 leads and your good to go.
