3/4 jack rout

[juwel1998]

Hey all you advanced members,

I couldn't resist the Thanksgiving Sale at all. I ordered a 7/8 T-style body, with silver radiant finish.
It will have a 3/4 jack rout side jack hole.
I had laid my eyes on that particular body for quite a while.

Now my question:  I cannot seem to find a jack I can use from the Warmoth site. Could you guys
                              be so kind and help me out here?  I am completely lost.

Sorry, no pic's..............yet, but they will come.

Bye  JULIA

A normal jack with a square or 'football' plate will work, as would an Electrosocket.  Congrats on the buy and looking forward to the build!

Hello whitebison66,

thanks for congratulating me, but the build will be most probably only next year, since this is the only spare money I had for now.......
Every other money I had, I spent on my first order..........

Please note that the regular necks will not work with the 7/8 bodies. You will need to order a 7/8 scale neck when you are ready to purchase that part.

Hello AutoBat,

thanks a lot for reminding me. It's the 7/8 Warmoth Warhead. 24 frets...... :icon_biggrin: :toothy10: lovin' it already.

To actually answer your question, you have two options that I know of:
First is http://www.warmoth.com/Football-Side-Jack-Plate-Chrome-P818C68.aspx

Second is http://www.warmoth.com/Square-Side-Jack-Plate-Chrome-P841C68.aspx

Either one with work. Just stick an output jack or long jack in the opening!

Hey AutoBat,

what about the electrosocket that whitebison66 mentioned.
I thought the hole itself is only that wide 3/4" (19.05 mm), did I misunderstand?

I didn't even notice WhiteBison's post.
The electrosockets Warmoth sells are for 7/8" holes (according to the description)
I do not believe they would work with 3/4"

 

[juwel1998]

Hello AutoBat,

if I remember correctly, the long jacks and the jacks don't have that size either. They either have 1/2" or 7/8".
I didn't see a output jack/long jack that will fit the 3/4" hole.

Am I wrong, did I overlook something?

Julia,
You probably want this jack:
http://www.warmoth.com/Mono-Jack-By-Switchcraft-P122C68.aspx
It's the jack they've been using pretty much since they invented the phone plug. It will work with either jack plate, the football shaped one or the square plate.

Hope this helps!

Electrosocket expects a 7/8" hole.

Hello everybody......

OK the hole on that body is 3/4" wide

and all that Warmoth offers is  1/2", 3/8" or 7/8" wide.

What can I do about that dilemma?


Bye  JULIA

Hi again. Just responded to your PM. You are getting the inch-fraction to cm conversion wrong. Please refer to this chart:

You can just put a jackplate over it, then use the jack mentioned previously.
