The Korena take

A replacement 1/4" output jack for electric guitars and basses. For repairs when the original jack crackles, cuts out, or has gone loose.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Fixing a jack that cuts out when the cable moves
  • Restoring a Fender instrument with matching hardware
  • Keeping a spare in a gig repair kit

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Anyone unwilling to solder — this is not plug-in
  • Stereo or TRS wiring, which needs a different jack
  • Diagnosing noise that's actually a bad cable or amp

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

1/4" jack

The standard instrument connector size. Same plug your guitar cable already uses.

Detail 02

Output jack, not input

This is the guitar-side socket the cable plugs into, not an amp or pedal jack.

Detail 03

Solder-lug connection

Two lugs take the hot and ground wires. You need an iron, solder, and steady hands.

Detail 04

Fender-branded part

Sized and shaped for Fender jack plates and body routes, which vary between brands.

Detail 05

$8.39 price

Cheap enough to keep two on hand. The labor costs more than the part.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Soldering iron, solder, and wire cutters are not included
  2. 02Check that your existing jack plate and mounting nut still fit
  3. 03Confirm the fault is the jack, not the cable or amp

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Do I need to solder this in?

Yes. Two wires attach to the jack's lugs. It's a beginner-level solder job, but it is a solder job.

02Will it fit a non-Fender guitar?

Often, since 1/4" jacks are largely standardized. Compare the barrel diameter and threading to your old jack before you pull anything apart.

03Is this mono or stereo?

Standard guitar output jacks are mono. Active electronics that switch the battery on via a stereo jack need a TRS version instead.

04My guitar crackles — is the jack the problem?

Likely if the noise appears when you wiggle the cable at the guitar end. Swap cables first to rule out the simpler cause.
