It shouldn't be too pricey if you can't fix it yourself.
Have you pulled the jack from the body? There should be enough extra wire to pull it out (gently) to double check all the connections. Make sure that you're able to actually tighten the nut around the post and that it's actually fastening the post to the casing as opposed to just rotating the innards.

I'm still a bit of a noob when it comes to the mechanics er whatever of guitars. I'm not really sure what you just asked me. I haven't pulled anything out- the only things I've tried to do are twist the little hexagon thingy (the nut?) by hand, wrench, and pliers. Are you implying that the things you can do yourself are more expensive, then? I'd imagine it must just be for the nuissance of the task if so.

As for that tone... good luck. It looks like he's playing a Gibson or Epiphone hollow body. I don't know of an easy way to get that kind of super bright shimmery tone on a solidbody. Telecasters are more about twang than shine. Maybe something like a chorus set to maximum effect with minimum manipulation of the original sound or an EQ and a lot of luck.

I'll try and find one of those hollowbody teles on Craig**** to trade mine for. Well it still twang though? At some point I'd like to be able to do twang, shimmer, and crunch with one guitar and amp. Like Husker Du but with a bit of a southern country vibe. I've heard having multiple channels with different EQing can help with this. Yay? Nay?

Id say just play through a Fender or Vox with treble turned super high. Make sure to get steel strings that are super thin and walla.

I've got the thin steel strings and they definitely sound brighter but I miss the feel of heavies
. They certainly are easier to bend though. Just have a practice amp from Orange. Treble and tone knob are all the way, Bass and mids backed down. Stilll nuthin close. I've been eyeing the CHAMP XD, of which I've heard great things, think it could do it?

The avatar was drawn by a friend years ago. I'll pass on the compliment, he digs hearing it. I remember Odyshape also liking it enough to start trying to emulate some of the style and technique in his own drawings, they were good, my buddy was impressed.

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?
As for Odyshape- I've been lurking around here for a while before making an account but I'm still too new to recognize the other users. I'll have to look im up.
