Epiphone Les Paul Special Input Jack Replacement

Introdução

This guide will take you through the process of replacing the input jack of a Epiphone Les Paul Special.

The input jack is the component in which you insert the instrument cable. If your input jack is faulty you may experience the sound cutting in and out as you play or possibly no sound at all.

It should be noted that it may not always be the input jack, but instead the instrument cable. Before trying to replace the jack, try using another cable just to make sure.
