Detail 01
Endpin style jack
The barrel sits inside the tail block and the nut and washer clamp from outside, so the jack is the strap button.

Proline1/4" End Pin Jack - Chrome
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A chrome 1/4-inch endpin jack for acoustic-electric guitars. It mounts in the tail block and doubles as the rear strap button.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Completing an acoustic pickup install that needs an output jack
- Replacing a jack that crackles or drops out when the cable moves
- Repairing a jack that pulled loose and spun inside the tail block
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Solidbody electrics using a flat jack plate or recessed cup
- XLR or stereo balanced output. This is a mono 1/4-inch jack
- Anyone unwilling to work through the soundhole or hire a tech
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
1/4-inch mono
Takes a standard instrument cable. Matches the output of most undersaddle and soundhole acoustic pickups.
Detail 03
Chrome finish
Bright plated hardware that sits at the tail of the guitar where it is visible against the finish.
Detail 04
Barrel body
Length and diameter have to suit your tail block thickness and hole size, so measure before drilling or reaming.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Cable and pickup are separate. This is the jack only
- 02Existing endpin holes usually need reaming to accept a jack barrel
- 03Wiring means soldering and fishing the jack through the soundhole. Many players use a tech
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I install this myself?
It is doable with a reamer, a soldering iron, and a way to retrieve the jack through the soundhole. Enlarging the tail block hole is permanent, so measure carefully.
02Does this work with any acoustic pickup?
It works with mono pickup systems that output on a standard 1/4-inch jack. Check your preamp or pickup leads before wiring.
03Will my strap still attach?
Yes. The outer nut and washer act as the strap button, which is the point of an endpin jack. Use a strap lock or a snug leather hole.
04Is a cable included?
No. You supply the instrument cable, and the pickup or preamp it connects to.
