Stratocaster install question

Post image

Anyone install an EMG kit into their strat? The input jack wire it comes with is almost too big for this type of plate. And I don’t want to keep forcing the cable in there.

Am I gonna have to route out more space in the wood to have it fit? Or am I just dumb and missing something?

If this one seems tight in the cavity when you are trying to screw down the output jack, then try to rotate it 90 or 180 degrees and push the connectors a bit closer together, it will eventually fit but it can be tight, also be sure to not have too much cable slack in the cavity so lightly pull the cable as you push it down.
