Strat Input Jack

[Dickie Blues]

Hey y’all! I’m planning on putting the input jack on my strat on the bottom like those MIJ 80’s models. I’m just curious if anyone’s done it and had difficulty wiring? I’m using all three pots too, would space be an issue?

The bottom of what?

The body or the pickguard.

Oh, and electrically it is an output jack.

Lol thanks, yeah I always get input and output confused. Sorry, I meant bottom of the body, like a tele or les paul instead of the usual strat output jack position.

There are no issues doing that or problems with room.

Signal leaves the guitar at this point in the process, hence, it is an “OUTput” jack, mean “ to put out”.

Think of it as the tailpipe of your guitar…

And the best thing to put in a tailpipe is a spud!

Sure, choose the 7/8" option, it makes it easier for space for different jacks etc.
