    Your question has already been answered, but if I may ,I would like to add comment.
    having become disgruntled at selling my L5CES, Wesmo and others for reasons I will
    not reiterate or bore you with, I looked in vain for replacements without success.
    My friend Vinnyv1k suggested that I look at Mark Campellone's website, I
    imagined that the build cost and import duties into the UK would be prohibitive, But
    the costs were less than expected,, a pleasure to deal with MC, a gentleman and
    of high integrity, I have ordered a guitar knowing that it is extremely unlikely that a
    Gibson in the condition that I expect is attainable ,in comparison to the quality and price
    of a hand built Campellone. Shall I don my Kevlar Headgear in preparation for forthcoming
    indignant responses from others , would you recommend ?
    kind regards Silverfoxx

    Vin, question..
    Why didn’t you go with the end pin jack instead of the conventional Jack?
    Alan, as for the Kevlar headgear to ward off indignant responses, don’t worry brother, not a single soul would ever want to harm you.
    Mark keeps an insanely neat workplace.

    i don't prefer the end pin jacks either...they actually impact the build acoustics as much as the side rim jack..and they are a bother besides...a rim with a well done output jack block is fine by me!! detracts little from tone..especially when plugged in...as the inner air pressure remains essentially the same!! and the positioning is a plus

    good stuff!

    cheers

    Joe,
    He'll give his reasoning, but in my mind that's the safest place.
    The original electric guitars, the Gibson ES-150 and 250 had t.p. jacks and you've probably never seen a cracked side on one of those as a result.
    I have no idea why they switched to rim mounted jacks save for saving a little money as the originals used more hardware.
    But there are countless side mounted jacks that have cracked and frequently shattered rims. How many times have we seen an otherwise beautiful guitar w a huge plate covering an ugly crack...many!

    I'm gonna disagree w NA about this, there's no discernable change in tone imo and almost zero chance of rim cracking and I see no bother!

    The only downside I know of to an endpin jack is that it's awkward to set the guitar down with a straight plug installed, and it might not fit on some stands. Removing the cable fixes that, but it might be too much trouble for some people, I dunno. I have guitars with both configurations, and don't really think it's a huge deal either way. They do make cables with 90 degree plugs.

    Most quality modern stands are adjustable to accommodate end pin jacks, ie, say a Hercules, just raise it up a notch or two. Easy peasy and better than an accidental side crack.
    This said, many of my favorite old guitars are side jack, just have to be extra careful ....

    I prefer a side jack with an angled plug. One of my guitars has an endpin jack and I always feel like my chord is in the wrong place with that guitar.

    Is that chord a DbMaj7#5b9 that's in the wrong place?

    Don't know how someone could feel cord placement besides plugging in and unplugging, lol!
    The only advantage to a side mounted jack imo is less fatigue on the cord @ the plug where it meets the cable, though an angled plug would solve that.
    But many of my guitars have side jacks used w angled plugs, it is what it is just need to make sure to secure the cable under the guitar strap to prevent stepping on it and stressing the jack.

    Yeah, if I use a cable with a guitar with a jack in the side, I run the cable up under the strap, around the endpin, so that any jerks in the cable don't directly affect the jack. All my cables have angled plugs on one end. I've pretty much stopped using cables, though, in favor of a wireless system. For guitars with a side mounted jack, I use a 90 degree adapter so the receiver doesn't stick out. On the ones with an endpin jack, I often don't bother, and just use the receiver directly into the jack. It sticks out about the same length as a standard straight plug.

    End pin jacks are way more solid and safe and great for home use. If you need to plug in fast forget about it. I always associate end pin jacks with floater pu’s. I am a Wesmo configuration guy.
