Default Three screw end pins?

I was going to just look but the screws are really in there. Before I strip the heads, is the hole big enough for a standard end pin jack? Is there a coversion or do I just use a washer to cover the screw holes if I want to install my MiniFlex 2 internal min? Thanks

I installed a three screw end pin jack in my HV Mini instead of a washer install previously on Mahogany Mini. Both installs were K&K Pure Minis. I prefer the aesthetics and function of the three screw end pin jack. GF

Just curious with doing this, I'm contemplating going gold bits on one guitar rather than the silver current. did you need to rewire/solder the jack?

Yes, a very tiny bit of soldering. The K&K pickup came prepped for soldering to the jack and made that part very easy. Do a quick tap test. Then slip the transducers through the mini's end block hole and install the pickup per instructions. GF

Okay, I thought it would need to be un-soldered / re-soldered. The K&K is already in place I just fancy refitting that guitar with gold accents, tuners (w' ebony buttons) and endpin. Currently it's silver.

So a minor refit and as you say check to make sure it's working. Thanks
