I've always had the most trouble with three-way toggles, versus the blade switches. Current and former Jacksons of mine with toggles - RR2, SL2, TH2 and AT2T - all had problems. Since all of those guitars were `90s models, that points to an ongoing technique or parts problem.
Crappy pre-Fender guitars!

One of my guitars had a similar pickup issue (cutting out). Turned out to be a loose prong on the 3-way switch. I bent it further inwards toward the contact plate and it hasn't given me trouble since.
And I hate to say it but if you paid $2400 for a USA Select you got hosed. Stay away from MF and shop around.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

If that's your only guitar or main guitar and gets a lot of play, needing a fret dress on a 2006 guitar isn't out of the question. I guess it depends on a lot of specific details.

Over here at Guitar Showcase, they keep a small aquarium in the room with all the $$$ expensive guitars that are display only.
As for needing a fret dress? I think your setup guy is ripping you off.
If you live in extreme conditions of any sort... cold enough to snow, hot enough to need 24 hour air conditioning, or even more mild... low or extra high humidity areas, you may need to adjust your truss rod 2-3 times a year...
Then again, it depends on how low you have your action set. If you have it set super low, it will need more regular adjustment than one that is set 3mm at the 12th....The 2nd Amendment: America's Original Homeland Defense.
