Potential design flaw on 650D jack wiring assembly

[profjeff]

Hi Folks:

I discovered a possible design problem related to the wiring on the jack of my 650D. My guitar cable was shorting out intermittently. The tip of the cable plug was coming into contact with a tiny piece of exposed wiring adjacent to the jack where the wire had been separated (hot/ground) for soldering. A small piece of electrical tape solved the problem; so if your cable is shorting out at the jack, take a look under the hood to see if there is exposed wire that may be the culprit.
