Oh, and just for the record:

So the rear jack out is not working,  the front does. It's the same signal 
so yep, you'll get sound when you plug it  in.

Cosmetically it looks very nice,  the only issues on that point are that the 
metal plate on which the serial  number is printed, is bent. Also, there has 
been a cut made in the wood at the  back to make more space for putting a jack 
cable in - but if you wouldn't know  there was some extra wood cut away, you 
would hardly ever see it.
