Carpenter Jack  Images
The Carpenter Jack was developed by owner Fred Carpenter and has become an industry standard among players who need to plug in. It attaches like a chinrest and allows you to use a standard 1/4 inch cable from your instrument. For years we have supplied the leading pickup manufacturers with our product, including names like L R Baggs, Fishman, Barcus Berry, Barbera, McIntyre, Shertler, Pickup the World, and more. It can also be found in several supply catalogs including First Quality, Stewart MacDonalds, St. Louis Music, and others. Let us hook you up!!
