so my friend loaned me a hollow body guitar. As I go to plug the 1/4" to jam with my other friend, the nut and washer come right off and the input jack sinks into the middle of the guitar. [censored]. Now the pianist that we jam with is a girl with long skinny fingers who is able to take the input jack out through the F holes. The jack is out of there and I rubberband-tied it to the pickguard so I could play it. Problem is I need to figure out how to put it back through the original designated input jack hole and not the F holes. My hands are huge so I can't put my fingers through the F holes. I don't think the pianists fingers are long enough.
Anyway, I need to have this thing fixed and I can't pop the guitar open since its completely solid. Anyone have suggestions? Is there any kind of long magnet or something that I can use on the outside to trace the jack back to the hole? If so, how do I then get it to actually come up out of the hole?
Quite the predicament.
I don't have a digital camera so I will draw a picture in paint soon to go with this if you don't understand what I'm saying by my description.
