  • A panel jack (aka a flush mount jack) might be the perfect choice for a thin guitar body. This video shows how to install one.

    I mostly use this kind of jacks, or the Tele jacks (the version with screws, not the lock-on version)

    The mid length terminal is also often used as a "switch" to activate a pre-amp circuit (or active pickups). When the jack is plugged in it completes the battery connection and provides power to the pre-amp, herefore when unplugged the pre-amp isn't drawing battery power.

    Hi nice video really helped me when I changed my bass pickups but I only get really low output ( 600 watts and can barely be heard over the drums) and the jack itself is amplifying outside noise like if I tap on the cable I can hear it through the amp and I can hear the cord rubbing on my leg while I play . Could it be a faulty jack? I really don't know what to do anymore it's okay for rehearsal but I can't play shows like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    My Ibanez sr300eb has a eq circuit. How would i wire that up to where when the cable plug is pushed in it turns on the preamp circuit?
    Thanks

    I have a guitar with this style of jack, but the side wall of the guitar is as thick as the length of the barrel, and the nut is down inside a cylindrical recess. The only way I can think of to tighten this is to disconnect the wires, and go at it with a deep socket, then re-solder the wiring. Any other ideas?

  • @edgeGabe
    @edgeGabe Před 3 lety +1

    Had to watch again to find the name of the tool you used. Spanner wrench. I have a very narrow space around the nut and might still have to use a router to widen the area. Don't buy cheap as I did and reason to replace the jack.

    I have a Kramer (1984 style) and have interference when cable jacks at certain angles.- I’d like to replace/work on my own gear, but first what soldering kit req’s must I have for guitar 🎸 work and soldering wire gauge? Thanks

    • @HighlineGuitars
      @HighlineGuitars  Před 2 lety

      I recommend a 40 watt soldering iron like the Weller WLC100. For soldering, I use Kester 44 rosin core .031" (.8mm) diameter wire.

    Maybe is a matter of quality, but im your opinion what is better? Barrel jack or the standard jack? I found that they fail more often that the regular ones, the common problem is that they not make contact when you put the cable and there is no way to fix it. As i said, maybe is just a quality thing.

    What is the reason to solder the shielding to the volume pot if the other end is not connected to ground?

    • @ctimlock
      @ctimlock Před 4 lety +1

      The back plate of the pot is attached to ground. Only one end of the shielding should be connected to ground, otherwise it can potentially create a ground loop.

    What if youre installing active pickups, that require a battery?

    • @HighlineGuitars
      @HighlineGuitars  Před 2 lety

      Panel jacks can be wired mono or stereo, so they work fine with active pickups.

      Panel Jack was a legendary luthier who died while plugging his guitar into an improperly grounded amp during a rainstorm.
