There's a graffiti artist mostly based in the east bay that has a similar style too. The whole neurotic eyes on a creepy cute thing that may have been drawn by someone on LSD deal. Sometimes skulls with big arse horns or eggs in their heads. I think he signs at least some of them but I don't remember his tag. Yer friend wouldn't happen to live in the San Francisco bay area and be into graffiti would he?

Hold everything. I was assuming the jack on a Tele was rather standard and similar to either my Strat or one of the flat jacks on my Les Paul styled guitars.
That's NOT the case. Scrap my original tips and check these links:
STEWMAC.COM : Issue 4, Two ways to fix a Telecaster's wobbly input jack
I didn't realize it was an actual common issue with the model. If you still don't feel comfortable unscrewing things and poking around in there take it to the shop. I wouldn't expect it to cost more than $20, maybe $40 tops to fix an input jack. They normally sell for $5-10.

As for the visual art my friends and I are about as far removed from San Fran as you can get on the continent haha we're over in on the Atlantic coast of Canada hahaha. Don't suppose you can snap a pic of some of that graffiti? That would be pretty cool hehehe
