Post by Randolph Rhett »

Is there an end pin jack with two grooves, one for a strap and one for the sarconi tailpiece strap?

That's odd, because I couldn't find it online. Any chance you have the link or item number?

Call them and ask for it.

If you are looking to hang a tailpiece cable and a strap, you can use the standard jack button by putting the cable on the jack THEN putting the button on and THEN the strap.

If you depend on the tail piece cable making a ground connection you will need to carve some of the plastic cover from the cable so the cable contacts the jack.

Maybe I can't fix it, but I can fix it so no one can fix it

OOOOOOH! I get it now. :lol: There's a perfect example of my overthinking things! I was looking for an end jack with two grooves before the threading.

Thanks a lot!
