Re: I can't find parts for this guitar...

Thank you all for the helpful information. Stew-Mac was the first place I looked but couldn't find the bridge or the electronics. The reason I want new electronics is simply to have a back-up set. The reason I want another bridge is because the one I have on there now has blemishes from being left i...

I can't find parts for this guitar...

I hope this is the right place to post this, if not please just move it to the right place instead of deleting it. I followed the links shared with me in a previous post but could not find the parts I was for the following guitar. It is an ESP LTD F-405-FM. Where can I find replacement electronics, ...

How do i handle this?

This is just a technical question regarding a 7-string electric guitar and I didn't know where else to start this thread so if I am in violation please be patient with me. This is not a guitar I am building but rather I guitar I found at a pawn shop. How can I clean-up the messy strings on the heads...

Re: Output jack, help please [Pics added!]

Just wanted to conclude this thread with some pics of the completed job. I've got the new Switchcraft 12B stereo output jack soldered-in and I do believe that has correct most, if not all, of the sound issues I was having with this guitar. My next project with this will be upgrading the pickups and ...

Corrosion-like stuff on wood inside instruments

I figured this should be it's own thread. The following picture is another that I took while examining the output jack on my ESP LTD F-405FM. The white-colored stuff you see must be some sort of mold or mildew and I was wondering if anybody else has encountered this before, if it will contribute to ...

New guitar with similar output jack issue.

The guitar from my last post was an ESP LTD F-5E. The guitar that I making this post about is an ESP LTD F-405FM. It is even worse with the noise and loss of sound while trying to play. Upon inspecting the jack I discovered that it was a switchcraft and that the solder points appear to be good. I al...

Re: Output jack, help please [Pics added!]

yes I actually noticed a similar mistake on the photo before I cropped away the area that was incorrect. I overlooked that one as well but yes I can see that it is also wrong.

Re: Output jack, help please [Pics added!]

Okay thankyou everybody. I finally have my head around this completely. After googling the search phrase "guitar output jack stereo" I now understand the parts terminology being used. I have also come to acknowledge that the white wire is not a jumper as pointed out to me but is infact jus...

Re: Output jack, help please [Pics added!]

Hey isn't gold superior? And is this how you were talking about using the heat shrink tubing?

-EDIT-
Added a pic showing that it is infact a stereo jack.

@ David King
If you don't mind, I can make a video showing all the wires connected to the jack. The small white wire actually jump from one pin to another. Would you mind taking a look at it?

Output jack, help please [Pics added!]

Note: When I get a reply to my other post about resizing pics, I will post the pictures. I have an ESP LTD F5-E 5-string bass guitar with an output jack that seems to be problematic. I will provide pictures but I believe that either the jack is slightly corroded inside or one of the solder points is...

re-sizing pics

The forum post about posting images was not specific enough. I think it said "150k". Does that mean Kilobytes? I take pictures with my phone and they average about 2.2 megabytes in file size. Can somebody please tell me in pixels and/or file size terms, what do pictures need to be reduced ...
