hi i don't know if i'm using any of the correct words for my problem but i'll give it a go anyway,
on my guitar (standard squier strat) the input port where the lead enters the guitar appears to be loose and this is causing the sounds to break up meaning i have to move the lead around untill connection is re-established. I have tried unscrwing the metal cover and tightening up the bolt that keeps it all together but its difficult to tighten and the problem still remains. I'm wondering if this is a common problem easily fixed or if i should go to the local shop and see if they can fix it.
Sorry for my guitar ignorence ><
thanks in advance

Very common problem, it can be difficult to tighten properly but I've had a bit of practice at it over the years so I just do it myself. If the shop is friendly then hopefully they would do it for free!?
Good luck!

Better luck with a local music shop than a GuitarCenter type thing. Just let 'em know what the issue is and they'll help you out. GC would charge you for that. It's a common problem on Squier stuff.

"Well, it was put to me by "that guy" when I was, like, four. So I went into my parents' record collection and found a rock'n'roll compilation. And when my mom asked if I wanted to move to L.A., I said, "Yeah," because I knew that was where the rock stars were. I was seven. Then when I found punk and listened to the Germs, I started seeing how I was part of this. I remember being out on the baseball field when I was 11, and I felt like such an outsider. Standing there in right field, I started making up an angry punk song in my head, and I went home and wrote, like, 20 songs in a row. I realized it didn't even matter if I knew how to play guitar yet." -John Frusciante
