    I found a new pic of Felder. I'm putting one pic in each pic thread from now on - so enjoy!

    That guitar is a Fender Stratocaster. Ain't it pretty?!

    To you non-guitarists out there....take another look at the Felder pic with the strat that WalshFan88 is commenting on.

    Note the way the amplifier chord is plugged into the guitar. Especially on face mounted jacks, there was a very real possibility of stepping on the chord while moving around on stage and if you stepped on it and made any sudden movement with the guitar, you could literally rip the jack OUT OF THE GUITAR and ruining the instrument.

    It wasn't such a problem with the solid body guitars like the Strat, but with the large Hollow Bodied instruments like the Gibson ES-335, it was a very real danger.

    To give a little "insurance" against that happening, guitarists would plug their guitars in and then route the cord to the rear straplock between the guitar and the strap. That way, there was some warning feedback if you were just about to destroy your guitar!

    From the looks of that cord, Felder may have already stepped on his cord. There is no slack between the jack and the strap. Anyway, it is a habit I have and one that I use even with jacks that are located on the edge of the solid body guitars I play (like the Telecaster).

    You can see that cord placement in this picture from post 502 also:

    I learned that "trick" when playing an Acoustic plugged into the straplock after stepping on the cord and yanking the plug out of the jack. Then when I got my Semi Hollow Body with the jack on the front face of the guitar...mounted onto the hollow part...I was very paranoid of stepping on the cord. If I had, the leverage of the plug would have literally broken the jack out of the guitar leaving the entire wing on the guitar nothing but splinters!

    They don't worry much about that any more since most of them use wireless and just have a short pigtail cord running from the guitar to a transmitter clipped onto their belts.

    It's a good habit to get into though for those of us who do not have wireless equipment.

    Mike is absolutely right about the cables too. I use right angles and weave the cord through the strap but nowadays at a gig I am wireless.
