What's wrong with my guitar?
Hey thanks for reading;
Okay so I have had this Fender Squire for about 3 years now. I changed the strings a while back and when i was removing the the old string (through the backplate) part of the string got stuck so I removed the faceplate (which I read you can do) and changed the strings. Anyway I noticed that the electric wire is just hanging loose (ie, it isn't tied down on one side) I put the plate back on and now the amp won't pick up any sound unless I turn the guitar with the neck facing upward. I DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT ELECTRIC GUITAR SO BREAK IT DOWN FOR ME PLEASE! What did I do and is there a fix???
Correction: Not the faceplate i meant the back plate
Hello! The only wire your would see from the exposed backplate side of the guitar is a grounding wire that attaches to the spring claw. Even if disconnected, that wire would not cause the problem you are experiencing. My best guess is that the output jack needs attention; this premise is reinforced by the fact that by orienting the guitar vertically, you are forcing the cable plug against the contact points in the jack. Simply remove the screws holding the output jack retainer (dress plate) to the guitar body, and pull the jack assembly out far enough to check both the wiring and the jack itself. In most cases, all that is needed is to wipe a cotton swab dipped in alcohol across the contact surfaces, and then bend the sheet metal tang in slightly to make firmer contact with the plug tip. These jacks do get out-of-kilter even when brand-new, and need maintenance just like everything else on a guitar. If the wiring is broken or loose, it will need re-soldering. Make sure there is no foreign matter inside the jack that is preventing good electrical contact with the plug tip and ring. If it turns out that the input jack is not the culprit, it is probably a wire that has come loose elsewhere in the circuitry. Expose the wiring at the switch and control area, and look for any detached wires. Re-solder where needed and you should be good to go! Let me know if I can help further. Best regards, Dana
