i'll have no other
i installed the first of this kind on a bass i bought in 1987, on which the original "switch-on electronics" was producing false contacts and horrible noises. it might have been 1991.
that bass is still in use, and daily, by the friend who bought it from me soon thereafter, and the Neutrik locking jack socket is the only bit that hasn't been replaced on that bass.
tuning heads: gone. bridge saddles: gone. pickups: replaced because they shorted out themselves. pots: ditto. jack: still locking, still perfectly silent at both plug-in and plug-out, no trace of rust, stain or corrosion.
clear, installing it on a stringed instrument requires a lot of work, it wasn't meant for this (unless the instrument came with this one specifically, and i know of only one such instrument).
but, if you either have a patient luthier who can route it flush, or if you can accept creative workarounds to alternatively place it where it gets easier and cheaper to install it...
this, and a 90° jack with plug-in switch of the same brand, will work as smooth as melted butter for the nephews and nieces of your grandsons and granddaughters.
ps: black it is, and black will be, if you like it black.
ps(i): price difference isn't huge, make sure you opt for the version with gold contacts, that's like in the 007 movie title track "golden are forever".

HQ professional product
High quality headphone socket (for big jack 6.35). Easy to solder and mount in the cabinet. Very good connection with Jack plug. My strong recommendation :-)

It's Neutrik!
Well nothing much to say other than it's a Neutrik and it shows.
Well built, the locking mechanism does not fail (been using these extensively for about ten years now) and can be re-soldered for a million times (ok, I've only done that about five times but you get the idea).
And it's Neutrik!

Excellent
I am using this for my pedalboard as an input/outputs for my guitar signal. I like all my cables to go into fixed inputs/outputs that are on the sides of my pedalboard, that way pedals are not moved and "disturbed" in any way, and last a long time staying in like new condition. Plus the cables are not bent in any way. Easy to connect, very solid built, excellent contacts, beautiful housing and easy to install. Great product overall.

Great for Pedaltrain
Mounted two of these to my Pedaltrain use with Evidence Audio SIS cables and the result is fantastic. Extremely sturdy and well built jacks.

Should be the standard jack in all guitars/bass
How many times have you unplugged your instrument by accident, be it by stepping on the cable or other ways? I'll bet you've been there at least once. I installed this jack in my custom guitar and if the other guitar bodies had permitted me, I'd install them in all my other guitars. This should be a standard in most instruments really. Locks in tight and is a solid build.
