I guess that might offer me something, at least I don't have to ship it around the world to take advantage like you would, thanks.

I don't know much (if anything) about telecasters, this is my first, I love this one.
I do all my own work as a rule (except frets) but all Gibson () up to this point.

This seem to be my problem, this does look like it is just pressed in. I might try something a little less permanent, maybe just a tiny bit of glue? In case I need to replace the jack at some point. I'll post a pic tomorrow.
