I wonder what will happen if someone touches the singal ground (jack)
and there is a short fault, some high voltage to signal ground.
I guess a current divider between 100 Ohms and the body.
All guitar stuff schemos I've seen (only a few) show signal
ground tied to protective earth and chassis in one point, with 
no intended resistance....

Or am I completetly wrong ?

m.c.
