So, looking at my collection, ive grown quite fond of my Roadster 2 but it does have a few niggles. The real biggy is the location of the jack input which is mounted on the scratch plate rather than on the body or elsewhere. its a bit of poor location because if you have a straight jack, it looks like you've got a boner guitar and an angled looks really bulky. my main question is should I relocate it, even though it's a 30 year old guitar? I'd get a plate made (which I'd want to do as the humbucker has 2 adjustment screws on top and one of the bottom which is just annoying for upgrades) and that would be it.

I'd do it - its not a guitar that will ever be particularly valuable financially (they are certainly worth more as guitars than they are as cash, IMHO) and an old friend owns my old one, now fitted with a set of Seymours... it roars.
Get a plate made and stick the jack on the side - do it neatly and it'll look factory.
Besides, I like the look of a straight lead going into the front of the scratchplate.
Ah Ok, no just thought that one of them SoundHound things that lay fairly flat would work.
As long as your socks match the guitar you'll be fine..
yes you lazy bastard, get soldering.
Sorry...Mr Lazy Bastard
or drill an extra hole between the two, then you wouldn't need a new plate . . .
