Re: Needed: deep panel jack
I've noticed the same thing. Most-likely, the only difference between these and a standard jack is that stuff gets trapped inside these, and you can't clean them or bend anything back into place when it malfunctions. But, my guitar won't accept anything else unless I route out one of the topmount control routes (where the volume or tone are currently) for a jack, which would make it a facemount jack. I generally don't like surface-mount jacks, they get in the way (a la SG). Or I could route down into the body to fit a standard jack, but I don't wanna mess it up.
