Is the jack input like this on that guitar? if yes then bad news you'll need to change the internal part where it grabs the jack...its something like this; http://www.seymourduncan.com/forum/attachm...mp;d=1381469573 As cool this system is as it can't break like classics, inner parts can't be reached so the part has to change. Shouldn't be very expensive though, if you can't find it in a store/can't buy online for some reason most luthiers has this part you can buy from them. Problem is some jacks (tips) are very slightly thicker than others, even with mid. priced jacks like Fender this can happen from cable to cable. So if you use the thicker one for a while, then the guitar won't accept thinner. So if this turns out to be the problem, don't use that jack ever again, keep it spare for minimum usage or change its tips. This post has been edited by Mertay: Jun 7 2015, 08:08 PM |

Nice one Mertay!
I assumed it was a standard jack - I've never had to deal with one like that. Do the pros outweigh the cons? |

Yep it sure is. Is it hard to change? Looks like I just unscrew the jack from both sides and resolder the wires on the new ones, right? How will I know which wires go on what with the new one?
Would it be bad to buy one like this? Looks to be it, but seems a little low in price. Maybe that's ok? ProLine seems to be the low end in stuff that i have bought.

I asked my luthier and he said he used this as replacement, seems more affordable and still tight after 3 months...The part you shared also seems cool really up to you what you use. |

Looks like the Switchcraft I've lately purchased.
