FAQs:

Q: Is this compatible with my electric guitar or bass?

A: Yes – if you have active electronics (like EMG pickups or onboard preamps), this stereo jack is ideal. For passive pickups, a mono jack is usually used.

Q: What’s the difference between short and long thread?

A: This short thread version fits most guitars with a pickguard or control plate. If your guitar has a carved or thick top (like some Les Paul or semi-hollow models), consider a long thread version for a secure fit.

Q: Can I use this for guitar pedals or custom wiring?

A: Absolutely. Stereo jacks are often used for pedal input/output or switching jacks in DIY projects.
