Guitar fixing in dublin.

    I just received a new guitar in the post but there is a slight problem with the input jack. When i plug in the lead i have to wiggle it around a lot to get a good signal and then if i move around too much while playing it cuts out.

    Can anyone recommend me somewhere in town to get it fixed?
    I know i could just send it bak but it was a lot of hassle just getting the thing, if i post it back to them god knows when ill see it again.
    Thanks.

    Depending on what type of guitar you have it could be a very easy fix. If its a strat for example just unscrew the 2 screws holding the jack plate

    and then bend in the long tip connector a bit. More than likely thats the culpret.
