- 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.

thanks for this vid, working on an MIJ Strat and replacing the barrel jack, this will get me where I need to be!
Thank you for your insight and instruction!
Good video man. I appreciate how concise it is. Definitely subscribing for more.
Thanks for the kind words and the sub!
I definitely sub’d based on his concision! The music helps simplify the processing also haha
absolute lifesaver
Excellent brother. Blessings.
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.
I know im asking randomly but does someone know a method to get back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the login password. I would love any tips you can give me!

@Lennox Travis I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Lennox Travis It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you really help me out :D
@Juelz Zander you are welcome =)
great video!!
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?
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.
Could you do a video on how to drill for a barrel jack? Much appreciated Chris!
Yes, Please
How do I know which wire goes into which sleeve?
It's happening. He broke the soldering wall. Glad you did.
How often that lock washer isn't used...
Hello, what is the diameter of this jack ? I need to drill a new hole in my bass and I have no idea the number of the drill.
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
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.
Two thumbs up!
What is the reason to solder the shielding to the volume pot if the other end is not connected to ground?
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?
Panel jacks can be wired mono or stereo, so they work fine with active pickups.
Where can i find the wrench you use to tighten it?

I've had to replace so many of those over the years. They break so easily.
i hate it in my Mikro bass
I see you solder at 399...smooth
This is great information and all, but who's jack?
Panel Jack was a legendary luthier who died while plugging his guitar into an improperly grounded amp during a rainstorm.
@@HighlineGuitars You are a master. I've never seen anyone jiujitsu a dad joke into a real joke. LOL
Is that your musical composition in the background?
Hardly. It's a freebee from CZcams.
