Is this area of the body reinforced of is a jackplate required/recommended?

It's a very weak point, no matter the brand of guitar.
I'm thinking of puting a gold jack plate on my Country Club.
I just never got around to ordering one.

Thanks. I'm going to a town that has a GC next week. I'll pick one up.

Hi

Here is a golden jack plate that seems ok.

Some guitars have a small patch a veneer at the point, some don't..

Fix it before its too late!

I put a Les Paul type one on my TR and it works great.

Here's my thread on installing a jack plate.
