Maybe there's a problem with the cable you use. Or maybe you're putting the guitar, plugged in, on a stand that is putting pressure on the jack. Maybe you're abusing the jack in some way.

But if you've replaced more than one input jack, a new guitar ins't the solution.

Are you referring to the cable plugs, rather than the input jack by any chance?

I've never heard of anyone mentioning having "gone through so many jacks" before :?:

If, in fact, it is your jack, perhaps you have a problem with the internal wiring to the jack or a broken ground loop?

One of my tone knobs keep falling off. I'm contemplating getting a new knob or just buying another guitar.

I agree, these type of decisions are tough ones to make. I predict you'll make the right choice. Nobody can help you with this one, you have to figure it out on your own.

:shock:

maybe you should buy a better jack like a nice switchcraft input jack?

Maybe it's some sort of a grounding issue?
