Input Jacks

[gtrbuyer]

Writing the input jack ID section and have a question. Anyone know what style of input jack was used on prepro Charvel Teles? Was it a Tele style input (cup) jack?

Anyone know? Have pics?

Thanks in advance

Re: Input Jacks

Wouldn't it technically be an output jack instead of an input jack?

Re: Input Jacks

Up yours, newbie! What exactly is the jack on the guitar "inputting"? Nothing. It's an output jack. Thanks for playing.

Re: Input Jacks

Due to you pluging something into it it is a Input Jack - They were around before computers and Data. So it is the act itself not the stream of data or current. INPUT JACK

Dictionary info for you:
in·put  
n.
1. Something put into a system or expended in its operation to achieve output or a result, especially:
a. Energy, work, or power used to drive a machine.
b. Current, electromotive force, or power supplied to an electric circuit, network, or device.
c. Computer Science. Information put into a communications system for transmission or into a computer system for processing.
d. Computer Science. A position, terminal, or station at which input enters a system.
e. Any of the items, including materials, equipment, and funds, required for production.
a. The act of putting in.
b. An amount put in.
3. Usage Problem.
a. Contribution of information or a comment or viewpoint: a discussion with input from all members of the group.
b. Information in general.

tr.v. Computer Science in·put·ted, or in·put in·put·ting, in·puts
To enter (data or a program) into a computer.
Usage Note: The noun input has been used as a technical term for about a century in fields such as physics and electrical engineering, but its recent popularity grows out of its use in computer science, where it refers to data or signals entered into a system for processing or transmission. In general discourse input is now widely used to refer to the transmission of information and opinion. This vagueness in the nontechnical use of input may be one reason that some critics have objected to it (including, in an earlier survey, a majority of the Usage Panel). Though the usage is well established, care should be taken not to use the word merely as a way to imply an unwarranted scientific precision.

Re: Input Jacks

I agree with Hossman. I was gonna say its a Jersey thing, but I am from Jersey and I never heard of guitars having "output jacks".

Maybe, but there's that lack of graemlins thing again. Anyway, sure, you can "input" your guitar cord into it, but the signal is going from the jack and transferring signal into the input of the amp. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Input Jacks

I think by the definition Hoss gave, specifically "Current, electromotive force, or power supplied to an electric circuit, network, or device." you could argue that the input is being supplied by the guitar, and requires an amp (or something else) to process the signal to turn it into something meaningful (like sound, which is the eventual output)

technically speaking it's just flowing through the guitar, so it's inputing and outputing...
