Does any one know the size of the nut for the guitar cable output jack?

I measured 3/8 but you better go to a music store and buy the jack cause you are going to strip the threads with a standard nut from the hardware store. Also if you tighten the nut too much the cable won't go in so be careful. You might try using a C-clamp type fastener until you get a whole new jack. A new jack shouldn't cost you much but when you take the old one out after it wears you will notice that the holding spring end is cut off to accomodate the cleareance on your Strat body. Take a pair of cutters and chop the new one the same length. You are not going to find one precut so don't worry who make the jack.

I have that problem with my Squier. Right know the nut keeps coming and I cut the jack wrong so I'm just dealing with it cause I'm too lazy to sodder another one in. Maybe when it wears out I'll try again. I'm hoping to find a reason to get new pickups too.

Buy a whole new jack, very simple to change, put a little fingernail polish on the threads after the nut is snugged up and let it dry, keeps the nut from backing off..
