Jack socket for a fusion

[Daveybwoy]

Hi Guys

Right I think I need a new jack socket for my fusion. Getting a few problems if the cable gets wiggled a little and I've diagnosed its certainly not the cable.
Where in the UK is the best place to get a new one and is there a specific one I need?

Thanks for the advice.

I've always used Switchcraft to replace the ones on J/C guitars, and the standard ones fit fine. Sometimes you may need to bend in one of the solder contacts for clearance (usually on the stereo model), but it is simple to do. Here is a UK online seller:

I'm not familiar with the different import Fusion models, but if yours has active electronics you'll need the stereo model. Otherwise, the standard one is what you need. Most guitar shops here (US) carry these, so I usually just go pick one up rather than order online. They're pretty common, and may be over there as well.

ALso if yours is the recessed jack on the top of the body (like on the old Ibenhad Saber) you'll need a recessed style to replace it.

Yep, go for a switchcraft, just about to replace one on one of my Fusions.

Thanks guys.
They are passive pickups and its certainly not a recessed one. But I think I've managed to sort it out......for the time being anyway. I just removed it and with some emery cloth plus some contact cleanner had a proper go at it. Seems to have done the trick.
I may get a spare just to be safe. I found this place online http://www.axetec.co.uk/axetec%20gui...ickups_059.htm

that would be a Stealth, not a Fusion
