Stiffy Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 The cables are fine running through other guitars. This guitar is problem got shake the pick guard to get sound and still cuts out. There is like a stiff wire for ground. Not sure it maybe input jack near death or maybe wiring to jack not right. Anybody have past experience with front routed guitar problem of this sort?

Southpa Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 All you can do is open it up and look for loose wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like everything was in place. Going to have to open it up tonite there maybe a bad connection due to dull solder. Ok heres a bad pic: The problem is running from the switches to the voume pots through the thick black wires. Every thing is connected. I have to shake the wires to get sound on and its cutting out.

I went to radio shack. The service ther is somewhat incompetent. I told them I needed a jack for my guitar and said headphones would for it. He pulled out a drawer and showed me what was tiny one that you use a walk man. I asked if they had any bigger and he said no that's it and they couldn't order one for me. I opened the next drawer above it wholla there's the right sized jack. I went back home removed the crap one and installed the new. Problem solved no more shorting out.

Jehle Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Sounds like you should apply for a job at Radio Shack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
