Yes. Someone has a build with the output jack in the rear route cover.  It's a great idea depending on body style and how you wear it.

That's quite common.

Usually people angle them better, though.

That's quite ingenious, IMO.  There's no room on the top in vintage location, which with a straight jack always looks like an afterthought, and a throwback on a modern instrument.  The pots would clash with internal realestate with a side jack.  Though not the norm, I've seen that jack location on more progressive builds.  Like Line6man, I think the angle should be facing the the strap button.  Location isn't really a hinderance.

Here are two Ritters with the same jack location.

X goes first, so they should have the same as or 1 more than O.
There should never be more Os than Xs.

Who cares, these particular Ritters are hideous.  :dontknow:
