pickup on lightning

[tigercubt20]

i have a krivo pup, and i want to fit the jack socket in the f hole. like the image of a jack socket on a tricone. its a simple mono switchcraft jack socket. its the right diameter and should bolt in perfectly. the tip is insulated from the jack socket body, but the second connection is part of the socket body, as per normal. i have put jack sockets into wooden guitars no problem. but in a brass nickel plated guitar, will touching the top of the guitar while playing, cause hum ?.  or have any effect on the sound. as the jack socket will be connected to the guitar by the jack body connection. cheers jim, not an electrician.

Hi Jim. What you're planning to do should work fine. If you were installing in the traditional way it would still be through the metal body of the guitar so same difference. As an aside I use a remote system from guitar to amp. Saves having a cable hanging out the front of the guitar. I use Ammoon not a lot of money and works well. Lightning...nice guitar 🎸
