Possibly the most helpful guitar wiring video I've seen. At least when measured with a helpful info x video length ratio.
You described it so simple. Even I (someone who has no idea about the electronic at all) understood it. Now I can use the infos to wire my guitar
This is the most precise explanation that I've seen on output jacks. Thanks for making it clear and straight to the point. I feel like I've got a college degree in "Output Jacks" now after being puzzled by them for years. Well done!
Couldn't agree more!
The video is short and informative. Thanks for the effort!
Even with your help it still took me nearly a couple of hours. My jack was similar to the gold one near the end of the video and being a sealed unit it was impossible to figure out the connections with a multimeter. With you telling me that the short one was 'hot' and the big one 'ground' made it a lot clearer. So many thanks.
Just solved my headache in seconds, thank you thank you 😃
Thanks for a very clear and easy to understand explanation of how the different types of input jacks work.
THANK YOU for this. Very informative!
Indeed. Cleared up something I've wondered about for years in four short minutes :)
That was the best blast of information in the shortest time I have ever seen....thanks for that....I'm just sad I fell one shot at 665 views....keep up the great work...
Just found this at the right time. Very helpful. Thanks Philip
This explains it simply and to the point Thanks
Great video! Helped me fix grounding issues on my Les Paul.
You provide good videos,Thank you for all the time and effort you put into them.
God bless Phillip McKnight for teaching me those wiring lessons You made it so clear and that was the best video on the you tube for this topic.
Phillip keep on rockin those guitars...
This is the best video out there explaining this stuff 🙏🏻🔥 thanks
Man this helped... i just wired an EMG 85 in my Kramer Baretta but had to use the older longer output jack... static and wouldn't pick up my false or pinch harmonics... i was sick! Saw this vid learned i wired incorrectly....fixed it and now 🤘🤘LETS GET ROCKIN!
Thanks for a great vid..! Even if 4 yrs ago!
Concise, precise, useful, perfect. Phillip for president! Thank u very much!
Thanks for the video. I have played guitar for many years and recently started playing bass. Had a grounding issue with my bass and wasn’t sure where to solder... Now I do...
Thanks. That answered my big question since I’ll be replacing my barrel jack on my Ibanez with one switch craft makes.
Thanks, You make it easy to learn 100%. I appreciate you man!
Straight up genius.... THANK YOU!
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!! I’ve needed this video since I was 10 and I just turned 30 today haha
Thanks Phil!
THANK YOU BROTHER!!!!
I WASN'T EVEN SURE IF THIS INFORMATION WAS ON UA-cam!!!! AWESOME!!!!
Thank you for this. One question: In the beginning of the vid, you mention that "black" was ground, while "white" was "hot". That's the opposite of how 110v single-phase wiring (common non-industrial setup) works in the US; the black is always the "hot", while the white is "common", or "neutral". Ground color varies by nation, i know, but here in the US, it's usually green. What would be the reason for configuring it the way guitar makers do?
D Snodgrass These are common colors in the U.S. for low voltage or electronics. You’re correct that common household voltage colors are black (and red or blue) for hot, and white for neutral, and green for ground. FYI, the 12 volt system for a car uses black for ground and red for hot! Pay attention!! LOL...
Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for posting the video!
Excellent as always.
thank you for this Phil
Awesome! Just what I was looking for! Thank you sir!

Just what I needed to know!
thank you!!!!!!!!!!! a million, very easy to understand
Thanks Phil
I don't want to rush you but waiting for your Squier Classic Vibe video review lol
Thanks dude
You da man Phil
Brilliant again, thanks Phil.
Am I missing something here: Wouldn't it be the exact same thing if instead or using a TSR/stereo-jack, you would connect the 9V ground to the same same ground as in a mono jack? Or is the point of the whole thing just to have different soldering points for both ground wires?
Never owned a guitar with active PUs and didn't know they use TRS-jacks, so that's Mr. McKnight all right; even on a thing that's as basic as it get's, there's still at least one new thing to learn.
Just a tip; pull the jack out of your 9Volt Active acoustic or electric Guitar when not using it as the lead left in drainz the battery, same with 9volt bsttery powered pedals.
Aww man, I had to rewire the cable for my input jack aswell the wire was full of nicks were it had been twisted in the cavity, upgraded to some vintage cloth covered wire.
I only have one wire coming from guitar and trying to upgrade the jack, how did you rewire?
@@edwardkennedy5500 does your wire have wire strands underneath the insulation that are around another insulated wire? If so it's a double core wire and you will be fine using that.
The stands that are between the outer insulation and the inner insulated wire are the ground, and the inner insulated wire is your hot.
Just twist the ground strands together so they are easy to solder like a wire. Hope this helps, let me know how you get on.
Thanks so much! I did it wrong. Had to find a video. 🤟🏻
If it wasn't clear, inserting the guitar cable plug with the long sleeve, connects the negative of the battery to the common connection (sleeve) of the jack and powers the electronics or the active pickups.
Thank you!
great tutorial, thanks for posting!!
Thank you sir!
Hey could you make one explaining the 5 way switch?
Love your work brother
I want you to explain to me how I can connect my guitar to my phone by connecting the cable to headphone wire
Any chance you could do one on how a shunt tip jack works?
Thanks very much indeed.
Very useful video! Just one question: if I invert the ground and the battery wire will it work the same way? Thanks a lot!
Hey glad I saw this post, thanks for all the education. But I’m stupid. So I’m putting passive pickups Seymour Duncan’s,. But I bought a kill switch led that takes a nine volt battery. What type of jack can I use? Appreciate your time if you get back to me on that!!
In example 2, why wouldn't you just weld both wires that go to the ground to the same ground terminal, why do you need 2 ground terminals?
TRS, tip, ring, sleeve, "stereo jack".
When the negative of the battery is connected to the "ring", the jack also acts as a "switch" to turn on the electronics or the active pickups when a mono guitar cable is plugged into the jack and off when it's removed.
NOT 100 % of the time, but 99+%.
+dennis walsh said perfectly. thank you for posting
Thank you for this.
Great video. I have a barrel output port on my Taylor like the one you explained in the end. It doesn’t work when the cable pin is inserted fully. Only works if the pin is partially inserted into the port. What could be the reason?
thank you!
Thank you kind sir :)
Thank you for this vid not really any good “to the point” videos like this
Excellent!
Thank you, I can do this !
Brilliant
I absolutely don't get the one for the active pickups:
It gives you a third connection (for the battery) which leads to the sleeve and therefore the very same ground for the rest of the guitar. Why not connect the battery ground connection to any ground? Why make a third connection which suggests it has an individual use, which imo it doesn't since it's connected to the "old" ground?
Someone care to explain?
I got an idea while writing this - does the battery discharge if it would be connected to the same ground, and that's why there is an individual, third connection which only gets connected when a guitar cable is plugged in?
You got got it. It is a on off switch for the power.

Great video.
Nickel to gold
Hey Phil. You should do a live stream soon.
been sick with the flu, but feeling better. I will do one this week coming up
+Phillip McKnight yes!!!!!
+Phillip McKnight , get better mate , been through that a more than a few times , it sucks bc , your in bed , you can't get up or you feel dizzy(if you have an ear infection at the same time , which I usually do) , you don't wanna eat , anyways , feel better mate , love your vids , I have one question , I have a fender squire bullet strat and the input jack is loose , not the metal plate surrounding the jack , the actual jack is loose and needs to be tightened , what tools do you recommend using , I've done work on my guitar like; emg pickups , a new set of locking tuners, a new ivory nut or whatever you call the white string separator on the top end of the neck (sorry for the noob like language) I've actually used some of your vids for advice on how to do these things.
Wild guess here. You seem to be saying that the jack nut is tight but the plug is wiggling in the jack. If so, maybe the tang (the bit he's pointing out at 1:04) is pushed away from the tip a bit. Try loosening the jack retainer nut, pulling the jack out and bending the tang back over.
+seraph127 , I will try that , thanks man
thanks!
That is a plug - not a jack. The female is the jack.
when will you review G&L and G&L tribute (and maybe compare them to Fender)?
Is there a difference between a guitar output jack and a stereo headphone jack?
Do you can tell me exactly where I need soldering the red, black and the white wires? Thanks...
Any tips for tightening the jack on a semi-hollow or hollow body?
I'm planning to change my bass guitar jack, does it have the same wire as guitar jacks?
Yup. Same principle and same wiring. 😉
so could you still use the 3pin output and not use the 2nd ground, would it still work normally?
Hey Phil, have you heard/used the Pure Tone Multi-Contact jacks? Do you recommend them? What output jacks do you recommend? Thanks
Great video, question, I put new pick ups on my Gretsch hollow body and when I was done I over tightened the input jack and crushed the wood a little bit, Since then I cannot get one of the pick ups to work. I’m not sure what’s going on I did my southern correctly it all looks well but now one pick up doesn’t work. Do you have any ideas?
