Some annoying buzz sounds, cable not fitting in right.

[Raiace]

Okay so basically, I'm having this ANNOYING buzzing sound whenever I make contact with the metal parts of this guitar (RG8470F). I know this has something to do with grounding, and I have sent it to a tech MULTIPLE times, in order to get it grounded. However it always returned with unsatisfactory results.

Also I realized that my DiMarzio Instrument Cable does not really fit tightly into the jack. The Cable easily falls out, and can also be wriggled along with the whole jack.

Anyone has any suggestions how to combat these problems? Help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

change the jack...
I had the same recently and spent ages trying to drive out the demon buzz, then I changed the jack and - sorted.

It think he's (tech) done that a few times. Didn't do much justice though. Thanks for your advice though.

The contact inside the jack is a bent piece of steel that fits snugly into the depression at the end of the guitar phone plug and completes the circuit when you insert the plug.

If it's loose, just unscrew the jackplate, flip it over to expose the electrical parts and using your fingers bend the piece so it's closer to the hole where you plug in. The more it's bent, the tighter it will hold the cable plug in the guitar.

Is it like these 3 pieces of plugs with holes in them? Since after II did that, and I found out the whole Jack is wriggling with the cable (thanks jemaholic, and any suggestion for the loose jack?), and can anyone give suggestions on how to combat the annoying buzz?

It turns out the tech changed my jack, twice.

Welder.

That cable won't be going anywhere.
