The special order "Vintage Jack" for both Guitar and Mandolin is available a variety of tropical hardwoods and rare materials. 

 

Like the standard brass model, each special order "Vintage Jack" comes stereo wired* with 18" leads of fully shielded mil-spec coaxial cable and is ready to be hard wired to your pickups.  We also include a heavy duty SwitchCraft or G&H plug (which must be soldered to your instrument cable) to assure positive contact and secure connection for superior performance and reliability.

Complete output cable assemblies are available as an option.  See our "Vintage Jack" Cables page to order complete cables or adaptors.

 

*Compatible with both mono and stereo pickup systems.  The "Vintage Jack" is also wired to provide battery switching for active pickup systems.

I am also working with other materials and will be posting photos as they become available. 

 

Fossilized Ivory is once again available -- There is considerable variation in this material and the Vintage Jack shown in the photo is the one you will receive.

 

New Materials:

     Water Buffalo Horn -- mostly black with a few random light streaks

          Holly -- a rare American Hardwood that gives something of that "antique look" and

         perhaps a natural alternative to Ivory.

     Black Micarta -- a synthetic material that polishes to a nice gloss black.
