So, this happened where the jack socket used to come out on my Ibanez.
I've had similar problems repaired on another instrument in the past where a tech has put a plate over the damage. A friend has passed me a plastic 'football' Telecaster jack socket plate that should hopefully do the job. Is this something I should attempt myself? I'm reasonably adept at building CBGs & stomp boxes, but I've always been hesitant to attempt jobs on my 'proper' instruments.
If I do attempt it, should I be taking steps to reinforce the wood around the damage before fitting the jack socket plate? The wood seems solid enough, but there are one or two fine cracks visible around where the hole is.

Jo whoever he is.
