Thanks to the whole forum for the good tips and tricks on pickup installation.
This is my second installation with better solution & HW.

Well done, and well done also on putting the jack together...

Although I obviously have acknowledged interests in the products that I make, I would point out that it was a lot of effort to still end up with a jack that is not locking and relies principally on the pressure of the tip of the jackplug locking pawl exerting on the inside of the metal shell of the ("Cool Novelties" ?) 13-pin jack to provide the sole Ground connection.

IMHO, a prospective fail point waiting to happen in the future...

...well done and a great looking installation.

Thanks  :)

I think its possible to make a slot for locking if there is desire and time ...
I just removed the "bad tooth"
because the mechanical connection is very good.

Very nice job.  I have a soft spot for semis and I'd love one with GK internals,

That transparent pickup mounting ring - did you 3d print that yourself or is it something for sale?

This is Harley Benton - just looks semi-acoustic! :)

I made it myself with old school method (with hands).
But maybe I can help with that.

The plastic piece is cut perfectly. Great mastery in your hands!
