Hello peeps ,
My little brother dropped a Sparrow rat rod pro guitar oops_sign ( two humbuckers , 3 way switch 4 pots ) on the floor and since then the guitar has picked up two problems 1 Humming which stops when humbucker is touched ( so prob a grounding problem )
2, one of the humbuckers has very little or no sound coming from it .

I opened it up and its a bit of mess wiring wise solder drips on most the pots but no clear signs of damage or wires that have come off .
Please any suggestion or even better wiring diagrams so i can rewire maybe .
Thanks guys and girls for any help :D

I would guess that some of the solder joints were probably knocked loose. Test them all with a multimeter and re-solder the loose joints.

Re-soldering all the connections wouldn't hurt either.
