What size input jack hole do i need to run this jack?

http://www.neutrik.com/us/en/audio/2...AG_detail.aspx

This is for a custom warmoth body so the options are 1/2in, 3/4in, or 7/8in.

According to the panel cutout drawing linked on that page it's 24 mm (0.945").

The drawing wont open for me for some reason. Regardless, i need to know what size hole of the ones listed i need (apparently im not good with conversions). lol

It's actually none of the sizes you listed.

7/8" (0.875") is closest to 24mm/0.945" but that's really more like 15/16" (0.9375").

Yeah, i came to the same conclusion. Dang, well ill figure somethign out since making the hole bigger once the body is done isnt an option.

How about this? 24mm Forstner Bit

I think there's a constraint to English bit sizes by the OP tho.

Sorry to bump this up but does anyone know what the jack hole is on a fender jazz?

On a traditional jazz bass the output jack is mounted on the control plate which has 3/8" holes. If the jack is side mounted the size of the hole can vary depending on the type of jack being used.
