Headphone Adapter

Hi guys, please help me out. I bought a Little Martin LXME (acoustic-electric guitar) for my daughter a few weeks back without testing the electronic piece of it before I left the store. So I bought an adapter (http://www.radioshack.com/sm-1-8-ste...i-2062468.html) today to make sure that the electronics are fine (I don't have any amp yet). I plugged the adapter into the guitar, and plugged the headphone into the adapter, but there's no sound??? i also tried to plug in a small speaker into the adapter, still no sound??? Am I doing something wrong?

You can't run the headphones straight out from the guitar's jack. You need to run it through something else. For example, I'll run it from the guitar to either the computer or my amp, and plug the headphones in there.

the guitar usually doesnt put out enough signal to run headphones, u are going to have to get some kind of small headphone amp in order to hear the guitar, just about any kind of small amp will work, if u have a mic input on a stereo or a karaokee machine, etc . even one of those cheap guitar amps would be better than nothing, but u need some kind of amp to make it work.

Check this out- with a little bit of work on the guitar, you can set it up to plug in headphones.
