Deinstalling an Endpin Jack

[JimDean]

I recietnly acquired a Martin Shendoah. It had a endpin jack installed. I've removed the jack and now I want to replace it with an endpin. I read the article on Frets.com about deinstalling the endpin jack and since I'm not a luthier or interested in learning, fixing it as the article shows is not something I want to do. The article mentioned that are non electirc endpins that fit the enlarged hole left when the strap jack is removed. I've searched the net for them and can't find any. Where might I find one of the replacement endpins for the enlarged hole as suggested in the article.

 

Thanks,

Jim Dean

Hello
You have to be careful with these NoJak endpins. There made of plastic and break easy when installing. Just a thought.

Thanks Michael. It sound as though you have broken one or more when installing them so I'll take your advise and be gentle with it.
