Then perhaps I'll have to purchase a replacement mic if that doesn't solve it.
Before getting a new mic you should do more testing. Although your internal mic could be faulty, the phantom power circuit on the Solstice could be faulty. Either test the mic with another dual source preamp designed to handle internal condenser mics, or try another guitar with an internal mic (known to work) with the Solstice. Either will further isolate your problem.

You could also test the Solstice's phantom power circuit with an Ohm meter by pluging in a TRS cable and testing the ring and ground contacts on the cable. Voltage should appear there if the Solstice is working properly.
