Installing Hexpander & 13-pin jack

For instruments with solid-wood sides, reinforce the
area where you are going to cut the hole for the 13-pin
jack by gluing a small piece of 3/32” aircraft plywood
inside the guitar. This reinforcement protects against
cracking the wood, and makes the 13-pin jack stron-
ger in case you step on your cable. Aircraft plywood is
available at most hobby shops, and can be stuck on us-
ing regular wood glue (white) or carpenter’s glue (yel-
low). Allow 24 hours to dry before cutting or drilling.

For mounting the Hexpander output on the edge
of the instrument, the integral 13-pin jack requires

If your body depth is large enough, mount the 13-
pin jack plate with the long dimension across the
depth of the side. This will make for a stronger mount
by placing the mounting holes closer to the kerf-
ing. Also, the plate will require less curvature to fit.
