Topic: OSJ Jack ?

You'll see from the link below that some Artec pickups come with an 'OSJ' jack. I want to just buy an OSJ jack to attach to a pickup I already have. Is there another name for an OSJ jack? A google search brings back a lot of uses for 'OSJ' but nothing helpful

Re: OSJ Jack ?

I believe that should just be a standard 1/4" jack. You would need the female end. Something like this:

Radio shack should have this part I would think. It's not molded like the one from Artec tho.

Good luck!!

Re: OSJ Jack ?

The top pictured is the OSJ jack option. So your pickup would terminate with this which you can secure to a strap button and connect an ordinary guitar lead from it to your amp or mixer.

Re: OSJ Jack ?

Thanks, will probably try Maplins (Radio Shack equivalent in Ireland and UK) and mockup up the strap button moulding myself. Looking for a way to transfer the pickup easily between the 2 guitars.

Sorry I misread your initial post - put that down to a 'senior moment' lol

I would hazard a guess that these jack sockets are manufactured for them. I work (part time) in a guitar shop and I have looked through our suppliers catalogues and I cannot find a socket like this, the others are all readily available. I can only suggest you take a picture of the socket with you if you visit stores to find one.

Good luck with your search though and please report back if you find a supplier as it may be of interest to others.
