The black wire goes to the shorter jack stub, the white wire goes to the longer stub. If installing an output jack remember to keep the polarity correct. A hot drop of solder on body finish will ruin your week.
It’s wise, though I don’t show it here, to put some cardboard under the jack before de-soldering. Flip the output jack over and de-solder the wires from the jack. With the bridge removed, take the two screws out that hold the output jack in place.
If you want the modern two point tremolo, even if your body has already been drilled, that’s still possible, and I’ll show you how in a later tutorial. Measuring from outside screw hole to outside screw hole you may have either a 2-1/16″ spacing or a 2-3/16″ spacing. If you bought a body with six holes already drilled, keep in mind that two, six hole, screw patterns were used by Fender. If you’re building a strat from scratch you’ll have to choose what type of tremolo you’ll want to use. Newer mounts use two screws, or points, to mount the tremolo. This is unique to the highway one, and other vintage strat designs, and is the original tremolo mounting used by Fender. On this particular guitar the tremolo mounts with six screws. Remove the six screws holding the bridge in and remove. With the spring claw out of the Fender highway one, turn the body over.
