Guitar plug question

[YurkshireLad]

Can this type of plug be disassembled, so that I can access the connections inside? Either solder something to them or use some crocodile clips to connect it to the output and ground of my breadboard?

They're self-dissambling. Just use it for a while and it'll unscrew at the least opportune moment.

For a breadboard, I would suggest you get a jack and not a plug.  So you plug into it like an effect.

Along these lines, I built this little switchbox to accommodate my breadboarding. The cords coming off were filched from the pre-formed ends of a very cheap guitar cable — I just added some solid-core wire to the ends for ease of BB insertion — but one could very easily assemble much better quality ones with those Switchcraft-type plugs. I used to have a ground wire coming off one of the two cords as well, but predictably it broke off of the shielding from excess handling, so now I just clip an alligator lead to an unused hole in the switchbox to ground the circuit. Works rather handily for me, and also allows me to A/B between circuits or pedals on the opposite throw of the switch. (Pardon my childhood NFL pillowcase-turned-tablecloth...  )

They're self-dissambling.

Even when assembled with the use of anaerobic thread locker adhesive..

Yes, the barrel over the wires unscrews from the tip.  Over and over and over again.

As these guys said, it's a good idea to make some kind of 'junction box' to interface your breadboard(s) with your guitar and amp. I'll post a pic today if I can find a few minutes to take one!

As said, unscrew the barrel and do a Good job at soldering the fine outer wires of the cable.
Tip, don't forget to put the cable thru the barrel before soldering.

This is Mission Control.  Power on/off, bypass/effect.  It uses a line in for regulated 9V, but can also use a battery if there's no power.  It has power, gnd, send and receive to and from the breadboards via screw terminal strip, and also a switchable integrated audio probe with indicator LED.   The copper square at lower right is a common ground to clip to if you need a handy ground point.   Lower pic shows the in/out jacks, same as on a regular pedal.
It's all mounted on a board I can push out of the way if I'm not using it.   The enclosure used to be some kind of printer switching box.

This at least keeps things a LITTLE steady while working on them, to lower the incidences of a problem being a wire you hit, or something with a cord pulling on a jack!
