Yes gently tapped in, otherwise, you would hold a small piece of sandpaper in the palm of your hand and twist the dowel in the sandpaper to reduce the diameter of the dowel until it fits snuggly.

Taylor puts that in their guitars? No way I'd ever put such a crude device in any instrument of mine. Say you want to add an output jack later - what kind of carnage is that nut going to leave behind?

When in a jam I've had success rolling my own. If you have a drill press it just isn't that hard to do:

The internal nut covers any "damage" (not that anybody is ever going to look in there). The Taylor endpin is the ideal solution.... way better than any tapered endpin. |

Then you shouldn't.

The NoJac does not fit as securely as the LARRIVEE end pin. I recently received a Waterloo that had a NoJac jammed into the body of the guitar that was quite difficult to get out. They also don't look as good.
I always buy used and always remove any pickups and jacks from the guitars. Larrivee endpins are the first choice in replacements. Larrivee also offers Ivoroid pins in larger diameters, but these may not fit in your enlarged hole. |

This is what I was going to suggest...these Taylor ones are perfect for those guitars that you pull the electronics out of. |

-i had the same problem with a guitar i have that the person before me drilled out and i removed the pickup because it stopped working .
a friend of mine gave me a scrap piece of ebony) and i turned it on my lathe to be bigger than the hole , then i carefully hand sanded it with a bit of a taper , and it fits good . ( but remember a person would need your guitar to fit it properly ) I think it might not be hard for a half way decent woodworker who owns a wood lathe to accomplish - any Hardwood could be used -thou Ebony would be traditional I do like the stew mac solution -thou it looks like plastic !

If the collar is slightly over 5/8" it would probably work. If it's narrower than 5/8" the OP could put a slightly wider washer on the screw shank and then it would work.
