Alternate jack locations on V-K body (or other v’s)?

[NefariousShredd]

The default spot for the output jack on Warmoth’s V’s is right in the spot that gets in the way playing sitting down (classical position, example below, and hopefully he’s jamming with Ozzy again right now).



The solution (aside from routing it myself in a new location which I am most certainly NOT qualified to do) is probably to just use one of the top mounted control holes for the input jack. The problem is the placement of those holes (picture below). The 1/2” toggle switch hole is in the position that makes the most sense for an output. And the other holes are too small for the toggle switch (3/8”).



I was wondering if anyone has another solution, or any suggestions or creative ideas to get around this. If anyone has built any of the Warmoth V’s and had the same issue, what was your solution?

While not strictly necessary, I like to play my purpleheart guitar in the mentioned "classical position" and it has the output jack where I assume you don't want it...?

Right there.

It works for me as long as I use an angled plug.

But if you think that won't work for you, I'm sure you could just ask the Warmoth customer service for a different option.

EDIT:
Some additional shots with a plug inserted:

Works the other way around, too:

It's really pretty easy to drill or widen the holes in the top yourself; just tape the area off with masking tape and measure three times before you drill
