Axis Ss Output Jack Question

[NOTEWORTHY]

Hi guys. On my new Axis SS/HH, the barrel of the 1/4'' plug on the cord doesn't fit flush with the guitars output jack. There is about 3-4mm between the socket and the base of the plug. If I push it in, it just goes right back as it was. I tried several cords, all the same. Is this normal? My other guitars fit flush, and seem to hold the plug in a little firmer. Thanks, Bryce

I think it's a problem that can be fixed easily for free by your dealer.

Have you talked to him about it?

Nope.. I'll replace the jack myself if necessary. Is yours this way?
Thanks

No, mine are fine. I guess you could just order the jack from EB, though I don't know what that would mean for your warranty...

I'd give the repair folks at Music Man a call. They've been super helpful whenever I've called them.

Can't you just remove the four screws to the jack plate, pull it clear of the body route, pinch the contacts in a bit to improve the connection, maybe clean 'em too, then stick everything back together and have it working 100% again? EB/MM use high quality parts, but everything wears, and even new parts can get bent out of shape while sitting in a store some where...

Thanks Jimi, I'm gonna try that right now. If it don't work, I'll call EBMM. They have already been very good with another question that I had. Appreciate the advice from all you guys.
