In most cases, no enlargement of the cavity is required to install
the main Hexpander board. Guitars with small cavities like
Telecasters, or guitars with a lot of electronics already installed
may require some routing to make room for the Hexpander.
Enlarging the control cavity
The jack plate can easily be curved to conform to the surface of the
edge of the instrument where the 13-pin jack is to be mounted.
An even curve can be achieved by placing the jack plate face up on
hard surface with a sharp
edge (anvil or machinist’s
vice is ideal) and moving
the jack plate progressively
over the edge while
tapping the jack plate
against the edge with a
soft-face mallet. The edge
will make lines on the
back of the jack plate, but
the face will be smooth.
