I've got a K&K pickup on the way to me. I'm looking to get this bad boy installed, and I'm definitely wanting the jack to go through the endpin. Can't seem to find much info on these jacks going through a James tailpiece. I talked to a local shop, and they suggested a jack next to the endpin. I definitely don't want this, as I've seen too many of these shake loose. Would much prefer to keep it mounted to the tail block.
My question is this: Has anyone installed one of these pickups on a mandolin with a James tailpiece, and did you have to drill out the tailpiece to accommodate the jack?
Thanks for taking the time to answer!
