Yet another mod for the 7421

Allen Garrow · 01-28-2007, 11:47 AM

Found a Neutrix output jack in my drawer at work,,,,so I figured why not? That's the beauty of having an old RG,,, it's not a big deal taking it into the room with the belt sander....lol. I'm probably going to take it off and sand the edge better ( smoother ) and treat the open wood with lin seed instead of a lacquer pen.

Nice.

Don't forget, you see a lefty GT-7, you let me know

Cool, Allen.

I was wondering about these jacks, I've heard such good things about these lockers. What was the hole size in the body?

It's was about 7/8" I just bored it to 1" for some wiggle room.

Nice mod! looks better than the nub that Conklin makes for their output jacks (even though it's just a small bad thing about their guitars IMO)

le_ackt · 01-28-2007, 05:31 PM

is the binding of the RG mod also ?

JPMDan · 01-28-2007, 05:35 PM

there's no binding, just sanded the edges.

I just used an orbital sander 800 grit then 1,000 then 1200, and went to the buffing wheel. Most guitars have a sealer coat, then maybe a primer coat, then the paint and poly. I just focused on the edges and contours. My original intention was to repair the body dings and paint it. As I sanded it started to look cool just the way it was.

This is an insane coincidence!!!!
I was looking at these Neutrik jack-sockets only last night (on their website)with the thought of fitting one to an RG7.
I like them a lot!!!

They also make them with a black colored metal surround too.
