I know how to tighten the outside nut on the endpin jack and snug it up against the washer when it comes loose, but the problem is when the INSIDE nut becomes loose. I don' t have the tools to reach inside and tighten it, requiring a trip to the luthier to have it fixed.
When it happened again to one of my ukes, I went to the luthier and asked him what can be done to stop this from happening. He said "No problem. This is what you need." and brought out the endpin jack with three screws that cost all of $10. No more loose jack, no more twirling around of the wires inside.
Does anyone know the reason why pickup makers don't use this type of endpin jack in the first place?
