Duct taped output jack :: 2008 Gretsch G5135 CVT Electromatic [6.7 lbs]

This has an old school Tele cup output jack that was completely floating in the side of the body, to the point that it was duct taped in place.  There was no way to resecure the original jack as the mounting hole was enlarged (for some reason).  I opted to replace it with an electrosocket, but had to wrap it with a thin mahogany veneer in order to make it fit tightly.  Once the jack was squared away, this Bigsby-equipped guitar was then setup.
