My “Tui” Strat set come with steel base plates as standard. They increase the bottom end and reduce the ‘ping’ at the top by changing the shape of the magnetic field. For more info:

MrGlyn’s Update

Kia Ora,
 I hope you are all well and staying safe.

 I will be up and running again as soon as we are back to level 2.

It has been a difficult time for us all.
I’ve had to move out of the old workshop in town after 12 years of being down that tricky little driveway. It was a sad day.
 From now on I will be operating from home (Muriwai).
I’m still going to be repairing guitars but also concentrating on making pickups mrglynspickups.com

Repair drop off and collection is by appointment only on week days.

The best way to contact my is still by text 021912678 or for pickup inquiries mrglynspickups@gmail.com

Dirty output jack

The season is changing, old guitars are coming out of cupboards, humidity is rising and jack socket are oxidising.
 It's pretty simple really, if you've got a crackly jack it may just need cleaning.

Incidentally, it's an "output" jack, not an "input" jack - just a pet hate of mine.

You can see the jack in this Les Paul is looking a tad fluffy. This one isn't very bad but it's worth a clean anyway as part of a set up.

I use 600 grade wet'n'dry paper used dry.

I simply tear a piece off, roll it up and clean the jack out with it. A squirt with some contact cleaner can help. It's good to keep a piece in your guitar case in case your jack goes crackly at a gig.

 You can see a fair bit of dirt can come off even this relatively clean jack. Just think what that was doing to your earth connection.

If a jack is really bad and the customer is gigging I usually just replace it. It doesn't cost much and it's something you just can't do without.
   Cheers
       Glyn
