Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gold-finish 4-screw neck plate for bolt-on necks. A cosmetic swap for anyone matching gold hardware or replacing a worn or corroded plate.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Matching a neck plate to gold tuners and bridge hardware
- Replacing a scratched, pitted, or corroded plate
- Finishing a partscaster build with bolt-on neck joint
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Set-neck or neck-through instruments with no plate
- Guitars using three screws or a different bolt pattern
- Anyone expecting a tone or stability change
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Gold finish
Purely visual. Gold plating wears through faster than chrome where your body contacts the plate.
Detail 03
Neck plate
Spreads screw pressure across the neck pocket so the screw heads do not sink into the body wood.
Detail 04
Fender spec
Cut to Fender's bolt spacing, so it drops onto guitars already using that four-screw layout.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your current plate's screw spacing before ordering, patterns vary between makers
- 02Loosen strings before pulling neck screws so the neck does not shift
- 03Retighten screws evenly in a cross pattern, snug not forced
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my guitar?
It fits guitars with a standard four-screw bolt-on neck joint at Fender spacing. Measure your existing plate's screw positions against it first.
02Does a neck plate affect tone?
No. It is a load-spreading plate for the neck screws. Any difference you hear comes from how tightly the neck is bolted, not the plate itself.
03Do I have to remove the strings?
Slacken them fully. Taking all four screws out with strings at tension can pull the neck out of the pocket or mark the finish.
04Will the gold match my other hardware?
Gold shades vary by manufacturer and age. A new plate next to worn gold tuners will read brighter.
