guitar input jack problem

HumbleMonkey · Unread post by **HumbleMonkey** » Mon Jun 04, 2007 8:16 pm

just got a new electric guitar, my problem is its cheap and was made cheap and the nut for the input jack fell off and the input got loose inside the guitar. now there is just a hole there as you can see.

so i emailed the music store that i got it from and they said that its not hard to get it back in. but im trying to figure how i could possibly do it.

is there some easy way to do this that im just not seeing?? thanks for any help. here's a few crappy pics to give you an idea of what im dealing with exactly.

i'd say if it's not that hard to put in then you won't mind doing it for free. thanks.

Cut open the back of the guitar and just reach in and fix it. Then just glue it back together.

well to make it even worse, this is the second guitar from them, the first one they sent me had tons of problems so i sent that back. this was the replacement guitar. i really liked the guitar when i played it for the first hour, then this happened. just about ready to just get a refund though. they told me if i cant fix it to bring it to a guitar tech. im not gonna pay money for someone to fix a brand new guitar.

Oscar Schmidt (sp?), says in the f-hole. The ones I've heard sound good.
