KenK Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 My '61 Melody Maker's output jack is located ABOVE the knobs, rather than below. SN 16740. Any idea why this is? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tx-ogre Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Welcome aboard KenK. I don't know a lot about that particular model, but it appears that the output jack and pots are mounted in the pickguard. Any chance the original pickguard was replaced with one with a different layout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Because a previous owner switched-over the tone-pot & 1/4" jack fittings to place the tone knob in a more convenient position. Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
