Uggg... guitars without pickguards should not have the input jacks on their bodies! [img]graemlins/nono.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Joe dude...if you don't mount the input jack on the body where ya gonna put it???.....on the headstock maybe?.....damn that would be inconvenient. Just curious. [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I meant on the top of the bodies. Strats with pickguards have the jack on the top/face of the body and that's a classic design that looks fine. But without the pickguard, the jack should be on the side of the body like most other guitars, IMO. Not that it matters whether there's a pickguard or not, since the jack isn't mounted in the guard anyhow, but it doesn't look as good to me. Maybe I'm just anal. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

GMW will build these for you all day long for about half of what Fender would charge.

That's one of my favorite features about strats. The face mounted jack means you can sit back on a bed and play without having to worry about the jack. I know, get a cord with an angled jack, but that's no fun, and make my meaningless post have even less merit.

OK, going back to sleep now... [img]graemlins/sleep.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">LOL Not that they're that ugly, but I really never saw the point of having them on the body if there's no pickguard.
