Pro grade component
I install these in customer guitars regularly. The contact tension is excellent, ensuring a secure connection without being too hard to plug in. Highly recommended for repairs.

Shiny and reliable
Looks fantastic on my black finish guitar. The chrome shine is consistent and it hasn't tarnished after three months of weekly gigging. Will buy again.

Fixed my intermittent signal
My guitar would cut out whenever I moved the cable slightly. Swapped the old jack for this SQ ST model and the problem is completely gone. Clear signal now.

Solid build quality
Very sturdy construction. It feels much more durable than the cheap plastic ones I've used before. Took off one star only because the nut was a bit tight to thread initially.

Perfect replacement for my Strat
This boat-shaped jack fits perfectly into the standard cavity of my electric guitar. The nickel plating looks great and the solder lugs are easy to work with. No more crackling sounds!

Good value
Does exactly what it says. The boat shape makes it easy to align during installation. Good value for the price compared to local music shop markup.
Q: Will this fit a standard Les Paul style guitar?
A: Yes, this is a standard 1/4 inch mono jack that fits most electric guitars including Les Paul, Stratocaster, and Telecaster styles, provided the mounting hole size matches.
Q: What is the difference between boat-shaped and straight barrel jacks?
A: The boat-shaped design offers a wider surface area for the solder lugs, making them easier to access and solder, especially in tight control cavities. Functionally, they perform the same.
Q: Does this come with a ground lug attached?
A: Yes, the sleeve terminal acts as the ground connection. You simply solder your ground wire to the longer lug and the hot wire to the shorter tip lug.
Q: Is this compatible with active pickups?
A: Yes, this passive output jack works perfectly with both passive and active pickup systems. You just need to ensure your battery clip is secured separately inside the cavity.
Q: Do I need special tools to install this?
A: No special tools are required. You will typically need a soldering iron, solder, wire cutters, and a small wrench or socket to tighten the mounting nut.
