Premium guitar jacks and cord jacks?
12/09/16 at 18:13:45

Greetings everyone.

I recently upgraded my guitar output jack and cord jacks to Switchcraft :

http://nextgenguitars.ca/products/switchcraft-11-1-4-mono-jack.html

http://nextgenguitars.ca/products/switchcraft-280-1-4-mono-straight-plug.html

I don't like the connections and was wondering if anybody had a premium brand to recommend for the guitar output jack and cord jacks?

Thanks! :)

I guess you might need to elaborate on what you mean by "don't like"...? the connectors don't have enough mass for you, aren't gold plated, what's the issue?
I see at parts express that switchcraft has a new high current TS jack rated at 15 amps continuous

does this look better?

Decware Torii MK3, Wyred4Sound DAC2, Theta Digital Miles, Emotiva XMC-1, Emotiva XPA-5, Aesthetix Calypso, Wyred STP-SE, Martin Logan Vista, Audio Nirvana 12" Alnico's, PS Audio PW P5, Goertz, Kimber, Nordost and DIY wires, PSA pwr cords, Cary SLI-80, DM945's.....

If I replace anything that came stock I use Dimarzio parts. Otherwise, I use what is stock. Or, I use Gibson parts with Gibson and Fender with Fender.

Reply #3 - 12/09/16 at 20:20:25 Switchcraft pretty are the jacks used on guitars and amps. I'm sure I've seen small batches of premium 1/4" jacks before, but most were for headphones. Maybe start there.
