@Wokka, yeah sinking the plate would look hella cool man, but see as I've already laid down finish I'd rather not start playing round with it and have to start doing little patch ups. Next build's definitely gonna have a recessed jackplate;-)
@Stan, I'm hearing ya bro, truth is I got a bit too carried away with the size of the hole for the jack, hence the need for the plate the size it is. I'll call it a little learning exercise and bear it in mind next time round:-)
Anyway, after a bit of confirmation from the dudes on here I decided to scrub the blue jackplate and run with this idea.
I'm 100% happier with this look.
