What size hole do I need to drill for this?
For a standard 6.3mm chassis socket, a mounting hole of 9.5mm to 10mm (3/8") is typically required for the threaded nose.
Can I use this for a mono guitar jack?
Yes! Simply solder your signal to the Tip terminal and your ground to the Sleeve terminal. You can leave the Ring terminal empty or short it to the Sleeve.
