76 Tbird plastic output jack

[Randall]

My output jack is showing its age and I cannot find anything on the gibson site for a replacement . I bought a shorty metal jack but it is too long for the cavity. The original jack is a plastic type and is very short and compact. Does anyone know who sells original gibson parts online ?

you can buy a switchcraft jack from any number of places online.

I have both a long and short switchcraft jacks and the cavity is not deep enough even for the shorty.

The pic didn't expand so I couldn't see it in relation to the body. If you could take another picture of the jack and mounting very close up, there might be a way to trim off a new one and re-thread the remaining portion.

There is also Allied Electronics and Mouser that has some very unusual musical instrument parts. It's possible that a replacement keyboard jack might fit if you had pictures showing seriously exact dimensions.

Check radio shack. They have some open ones that are very short. Theyre stereo but thats ok, just dont use the other lug unless your adding active preamp for the battery lead.
