What!
LOL the jacks pointed upwards so the chord sticks out at a high angle so my trem arm hits it and gets stuck

Dude...again you're talking about aspects of Strats that are inherent in the design. Is the jack you're talking about actually sticking up off the guitar or something? Is the jack bent up angle further than normal? My trem arm will hit the chord on my 50s Strat but it's not so bad on the 60s. Take some pics of your guitar and post them here.

some good angle shots of that would be good so we can see where its touching but the jack can't move otherwise there are strange powers at work when your sleeping

Chord? lol Try 'cord' for the stringy looking thing that plugs the guitar in and 'chord' for a bunch of notes all played together. lolOriginally Posted by pes_laul
ok
Glad you figured out what the problem was. Sometimes the jack plate material is thin enough that it will actually bend at the input jack nut and that would also change the angle.
Chord, lol.
