Input Jacks and Plates

Listed here are some common input jacks. Listed here are mostly plates because standard input jacks on most Kramers were mono.

Canon Jack (no plate)

Probably the most common of all input jacks on Kramers. The holes for these jacks were drilled just big enough for the jack to fit into the hole without a face plate. If you see an American Series guitar without this jack, more than likely it is not an American Series guitar (with the exceptions below). Some canon jacks were stereo, some were mono and were featured in black or chrome.
Strat Cup (Face mount)

Used on Pacer Deluxe and "The Pacer", these mounted directly to the front of the guitar body like a Fender Strat. The Classic I and F3000 (overseas) featured one as well as did some Strikers.
Standard Jack (Face mount, no plate)

I n the aluminum realm, the DMZ 1000, 3000, 4000 and early 6000 basses featured the face jack. Also all the XKGs had a face jack(XKG's were all single pickup guitars). In the wood neck era, the face jacks were mostly found on the single pickup models, the early Pacer Special, Vanguard Special, Voyager Special, and single pickup Dukes.
Oval Plate (Nightswan)

Sort of an off-shoot for Kramer, the Nightswans featured input jacks with oval plates.

* Note - Most overseas models feature the input jack with the rectangular plate.
