Drilling the strapjack hole
Drill a clean ½” hole in the tail-block for the strapjack. Remove wood shavings & dust from inside the uke.
Installing the strapjack
Remove the strap ring, retaining nut and one washer from
the end of the jack. There should still be one star locking
tail-block
washer, one at washer and a nut remaining on the jack.
Bring the jack down through the soundhole into the body
and insert it into the pre-drilled hole in the tail block. Using
the internal nut (be sure to include the at and star washers), set the proper depth that will allow the entire smaller
threaded section to protrude from the instrument (see g-

With the jack in place, lay the remaining washer over the threads and attach the external retaining nut until it’s
