I replaced the plastic Historic jack plate on my R9 with a Gibson nickle plated steel version. The holes all line up fine and I button it in place and the guitar cords plug is all but impossible to insert into the socket. When I loosen the four screws that hold the jack plate in place on the guitar the cord plug goes in and out of the socket no problem. So, I figured I'd leave the plug in the jack and screw the four mounting screws back down and now, the cord is all but stuck in the socket. What gives? Anyhow, for now I've put the Historic plastic plate back on and it works perfectly again. :## What in the devil is going on? I've done this mini mod on several other Gibsons in the past with no problems.
