Then last Thursday I tightened a loose jack nut on one of my guitars. It seemed to get tighter... then it suddenly spun.

Because the thing is made of cheap plastic, it wears quickly. Once it's worn, it won't grip the inside of the jack. And once it won't grip the jack...

Well, the sudden spinning was the jack breaking free of both wires. And the guitar in question is a 335 - an F hole guitar. To resolder the jack means taking out all of the controls through the F hole and futzing them back into place after the soldering is done. The whole job of fixing it took me almost 3-1/2 hours.

So my review: it's a neat idea that isn't engineered to last. Save your money.]]> Reviews of Instructional Material, CDs and Shows NoteBoat https://guitarnoise.forum/reviews-of-instructional-material-cds-and-shows/bullet-jack-tightener/#post-43431
