Tele Jack holder

TI-Distribution

Hi What is it with telecaster output jack holders (for want of a better description).

Almost all the Tele's i have owned and played these have been loose! Bad design??

Anyone else had this problem?

Yep... you can add at least one to the list...

I also used to have it on my Tele.

I see Stew Mac sells these: http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Electronics,_pickups/Components:_Jacks/Electrosocket_Jack_Mount.html

The have two screws that prevent the jack from moving...

Thanks Dee that looks like a good solution...

But surely Fender would by now try and sort this problem out. On searching the web it seems like this is a very common problem!

They are a pain in the behind. I can heartily recommend the Electrosockets - two minutes to fit rather than half an hour with the traditional socket.

Never played a tele without one. Don't see any reason to use the traditional style jack? Electrosocket looks good, works well, and fits easily.
