2 Pack of Full-contact Output Jack for Guitar/Bass, with Mounting Hardware

A must have upgrade, Just buy them.

Si tienes suerte de encontrarlos baratos, no dudes en comprarlos. Se los puse a una Jackson King V con humbuckers poderosos y a una copia Les Paul Ibanez con humbuckers más versátiles en cuanto a géneros, y en ambas guitarras se nota un mejor sonido, ya que las cuatro zonas de contacto con el jack preservan la señal y evita el molesto "crackle" o crujir al girar el cable cuando te mueves. Debido a esto mismo, puede resultar un poco más difícil meter o sacar el jack en la guitarra, así que cuidado al sacarlo porque muerden fuerte el jack, pero valen su eficiencia.

The 5 year old OEM jack on my Fender bass guitar was crackling. Upon inspection, the nickel finish on tab was worn away where it was contacted by the tip of the guitar cable plug. I bent the tab inwards to ensure a tighter connection, but with no improvement. So I found this Pure Tone replacement jack and was impressed that they had improved upon the standard mono plug design. So I replaced my old, worn out jack with a Pure Tone. I’ve included photos of the old jack next to the new one. As you can see, the plug tip contacts only one point on the old jack - you can see where the nickel coating has worn away at the point of contact. By contrast, the new jack has two opposing contact points for the plug tip, thus ‘locking in’ the plug tip. Also, the plug barrel (ground) on the old jack merely contacts the body of the jack - nothing locks it in place. By contrast, the Pure Tone has two additional tabs which grip the barrel of the plug and hold it firmly. As Pure Tone says, their jack has 4 contact points, instead of 1. You can feel the difference when plugging or unplugging your guitar cable. Instead of a quick slide and single click when you plug in, with the Pure Tone there are two clicks - one as the tip passes through the 2 short (ground) tabs and the second click as the tip is secured by the 2 long tabs. The materials and build quality appear as good, possibly better, than the OEM Fender jack. The body of the Pure Tone is the same diameter as the old jack, but overall the Pure Tone is a bit shorter and therefore more compact. I can’t imagine any difficulty with fit in a replacement situation. The solder flowed and nicely adhered to the electric contact tabs. The Pure Tone comes with a nut, a washer, and a 2nd nut for adjusting mounting height and locking the device to the mounting surface (in my case, the pick guard.) There is no lock washer. I’m not sure a lock washer is needed, but I re-used the old one just to be cautious. While as yet, I have no long term experience with this device, I was impressed with the quality and the upgraded design. The Pure Tone device does create a significantly more secure attachment for the guitar cable. Considering the importance of this particular connection, spending a extra buck or two is a worthy investment.

Solid quality and sturdy.

These input jacks are more durable than the stock ones that come on cheap imported guitars. It doesn't really seem to actually hold the cable in the guitar any better though. Maybe it's just me, but I bought a 2 pack and I have installed them both. They are still working fine and the cord certainly doesn't fall out.
