Fender Tele Deluxe Thinline jack ferrule cup replacement repair

Fender Tele Deluxe Thinline

 I had the chance to fix this guitar. The jack input ferrule/cup is missing. So I ordered from Gear4Music a Fender replacement parts.  It was pretty much straight forward.  But then when I tested the guitar, the intonation and action was a bit of a challenge and the switch as well as the tone and volume knob are a bit crackly. But when the volume and tone knob are on full level, its seems ok. 

I did enjoy restoring and playing this guitar but had to return it to the owner so yeah it was a short and sweet encounter. 

Here's the sound demo of this guitar. Hope you like it. Enjoy!

DIY on how to change the built-in rechargeable battery of Samson Expedition Express

 

Here's how to fix and swap the built-in rechargeable battery of your Samson Expedition Express. But first, you need to buy your replacement battery. I bought mine from Thomann. Kindly, check first if Thomann is able to deliver to your place before you order. 

Here's the link if you're interested to buy the replacement battery: https://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_battery_12v_26ah.htm?partner_id=95373

It is a straight-forward swap. Just unscrew the back cover of your Samson Expedition Express and then be careful with the wires when lifting the cover. Then, there's a protective sheet that you need to remove and it is secured by 4 screws. A bit bigger from the ones the you've taken out. So you might swap screwdriver to remove these.

Then, the tricky bit is the battery itself. The good news is that it has a strap so you can pull it out. But just be gentle and careful because of the wire and there's like a sticky substance that they used. 

The polarity is colour-coded and there's a sticker so that you don't get confused about it and put the wires wrong way around. 

Last is to put things back together and cover it. Put back the screws as well and your Samson Expedition Express is as good as new again.
