Tryin' to take some pics for another thread and noticed one of my Studio's has a Tele cup style output jack. The others all have barrel type flush mount jacks. The Studio in question is a 2008 model. Was this a replacement jack or original, if original, does anyone know what year they started using them ?
Different output jack !

Just received a Tally Pro from @Piemantoday. Guess What, it has a Tele cup style output jack .....and it's also a 2008 model ! I'm thinking mine is an original part now. I wonder if that's the year Hamer started using them. Gonna back track on pics of some older models to see if I spot any. Anyone out there with a 2008 model anything with a Tele style output jack ???
That's the one, on the bottom, the Electrosocket ! Sorry if I gave the wrong description !
I know people have modded their Hamer's using Elctrosockets (myself included) but I don't remember if any left CT that way, I'm certain someone here knows though.
I had a 2005 korina special and a 2008 Newport Pro that both had factory-installed Electrosocket jacks.
I've found that if you use right-angle plugs at the gtr end of your cable, it can help to adjust the barrel part of the jack to be a little proud of the bottom of the cup. When the barrel is flush with the bottom of the cup it can cause RA plugs to not seat deeply enough and your signal can cut out at a critical moment.

Yeah, I've got an '05 Studio Custom with barrel jack. Seems like both types of jacks were used in '05. Maybe aesthetic appeal for certain models, who knows !
