Just bought a beautiful new Spectraflex "tweed" instrument cable, with 2 right angle jacks. Always wanted 2 right angle jacks. Anyway- the problem is, the plug won't go into the guitar far enuff to "click" into the jack! I have a piece of electrician's tape holding it in the guitar!! Do they make "shorter" jacks, so the plug would engage sooner? or do I have to look into a flush-mount jack (yuck!), or what?
