input jack

[randyrhoadslives13]

how would i know if theres a crack by the input jack on my sg standard? would it be noticable or would it be hard to see? thanks in advance.

Could be either. Put in a straight plug and apply "a little" pressure and looke closely as you do. DONT just press hard on the plug, because if you've got a crack you might break the wood. If its a hairline... it can be fixed pretty easily. If its a little bigger even, its still easy to fix. If you crack it out, well... it can be fixed, but now its a major big deal to do.

well i cant really see anything but i think it might be cracked because sometimes i hear a weird cracking type of sound when i unplug it. i'm not really sure what that is, but i think it could be cracking for some reason. would i see it through the paint if its a hairline crack? i'm almost sure if its cracked it wouldnt be a hairline crack. i just cant see anything really. i dont know.

I don't quite understand. Is the cracking sound coming out of your amp? Or, if you put your ear to your guitar by the jack, are you saying you can hear a cracking sound there when pulling the jack out?

I have a question....

Has anyone ever taken the 1/4" jack hooked into a live amp and stuck it in your mouth?

Kinda like putting your tongue across the terminals of a 12 volt radio battery.

Is this dangerous?

Does it cause brain damage? ;D

Didn't Freddy Krueger kill someone on Friday the 13th that way? ;D ;D ;D Pure BS.
Put a Voltmeter or an Ammeter on the cable and you will see it's not much at all! .009 DCV
Brain damage? I guess we shall see...

 

[Spunky]

NO,
I want somebody to try it.......

I'm too old for this.....
Maybe Friday night after a few shots, etc....LOL

OK. I tried it!!! Nothing really happens, I don't know, I kinda have a funny taste in my mouth now, but me brian is no damagez

 

[Spunky]

Thanks GG43,

I tried it after I read your post on my homebuilt Champ and nothing.
No funny taste or brain damage.

Maybe you need to clean the cord end to get rid of that funny taste?
Do you know where that 1/4" plug as been????
Hmmmmm?

;D
