i've had to resauder the wires to my guitar input jack about 5 times. im tired of fuking with it. the local music store said it cost 60 dollars for them to run new wires and stuff. i dont have money for it right now. any other ideas? i've tried tape sauder works better though. or i could just buy another input jack and do it that way cuz sauder is caked on the jack. idfk.

Your not soldering it properly.
Put the soldering iron on the area which needs to be soldered and hold it there for a wee bit. If necessary use a heat sink to prevent damage to sensitive parts.
Once the area has heated up put the solder onto the tip of the iron and if you do it properly it will run into the already heated area. If you don't do that you will get a dry joint and it won't work properly.
If the area is caked with solder you need a desoldering tool. It's a simple wee vacuum device, you heat up the solder then basically it sucks it off (ooer missus).
Don't under any cirumstances try putting solder on the iron and buttering it onto the joint. It will make you look like a tit. Heat the area properly, apply solder, job done.
Solder it properly.
jinx
I used to be an ace solderer (not as good as busy like). I could solder two fucking bits of wood together.
Actually I repaired a guitar input jack recently. True Story.
me two, I used a lighter and a paper clip.
I used a soldering iron and solder. It really is a True Story.
posh cunt:dry:
I borrowed the soldering iron.
I had to keep the solder tho'.
selfish twunt, you should have given it back if you borrowed it:no:
The chap considered it an honour supplying it.
i fixed it but it has wayyy too much static im just gonna try to get a new guitar for christmas
Again, if there lots of "static" you really just haven't fixed it properly.
However if you're getting a new one anyway it's all good.
Have you decided what you want.

Nah, you can get a two pick up one for under £2,500. I think they look much better than the three pickup.
jimi hendrix was a lefty, just swap the strings around.
lols, under £2,500. If it's about £2,400 under, it may be in my budget:smilie4:
I've got a strat which I've had made lefty:smilie4:Quote:

One can never have enough snazzy plectrums :smilie4:
I like nylon plectrums, the pear shaped ones.
Firm, but a decent bit of flex in them.
The gold ones are good, but the orange ones are OK as well.
i prefer to use a 1p coin, it's cheaper.
Plus you get a shite sound and it knackers your strings, making it more expensive.Quote:

Nah we gave it up. It became too derivative.
Got to move on.
"Fixed" is still going, but that's on it's last legs.
what about fact?
i believe it's still going. fact.
Fact will always be there.
Maybe
