Over at the Forum Build #2 room, Lance gave me a link that led me here: http://www.tapastring.com/ Check out their brass and wood (and fossil ivory) press-fit endpin jacks. They don't require additional drilling for a retrofit, and they'd look much better than the usual chrome jacks on a new guitar, too. There's a moment of sticker shock, but if you're already shelling out the bucks for high-end tuning machines, not to mention zoot, these might be just the thing you want. |

Just bumpin', so y'all have a chance to see it. Be sure to check the "options" page. |

I'm curious to hear some "real world" opinions on these and how the jack holds up to repeated use. I like the look of the Pick-Up the World system designed to slide in through the endpin hole so there's no soldering or anything. I had a pickup and jack put in my '55 00-18 a couple years ago, but I fought with myself a lot about whether I should have it reamed out for a jack, I'd have tried that endpin system in a snap. I'm still pretty happy with the decision, though. I bought the guitar to play, not to collect. |
