    Thanks Al! I still routed a space behind the plate to house the wiring from the pickup and ground from the bridge. I just kinda like the way these jacks look reversed, gives a unique little conversation starter I call it :-)

    Simple, cool. Reverse the jack plate and no need to route! How's it sound?

    Thanks BCD! It wasn't to bad, I took a plunge router and made a space behind the jack to house everything.

    A great build. Was it difficult to hook up the electronics?
