Now that all the major drilling is complete I can install some of the other components I ordered from my previous posts. This entry will cover the installation of the guitar jack.
Here are the genuine Fender parts for the guitar jack.
I soldered 2 wires 1 red for hot and 1 black for ground to the two contacts of the jack. It is very important to connect the wires properly. A simple google search will tell you which wire needs to go to which connector.
The guitar jack with wires is attached to the guitar jack plate with a nut. Make sure the guitar cable contact connector (the bit that looks like the letter J) is on the opposite side of the jack plate. This guarantees the smooth insertion and removal of the guitar cable.

Insert the wires through the guitar jack cavity into the main body cavity.
Drill 2 small guide hole and screw in the 2 small screws and you are done.
