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
Chrome finish
Bright mirror look, resists rust better than bare steel, and shows fingerprints and swirl marks readily.
Detail 03
'70s "F" style
Carries the stamped F logo used in that era, so it reads period-correct rather than plain or modern.
Detail 04
Fender part
Dimensioned for Fender bolt-on bodies, so hole placement matches those routings rather than generic aftermarket ones.
Detail 05
$15.79
Cheap enough to swap purely for looks, so no need to justify it as a performance part.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Squier or import guitar?
Only if the neck screw hole spacing matches. Pull your existing plate, measure hole-to-hole, and compare before ordering. Many imports follow Fender spacing, but not all.
02Does it come with screws?
No. Screws are separate. Your existing neck screws usually transfer straight over.
03Will this change how the guitar sounds?
No. It is a cosmetic and structural cover. Any difference you hear comes from how tightly you retorque the neck screws, not the plate.
04How do I install it?
Support the neck, back out the four neck screws, swap the plate, then snug the screws evenly. Do not overtighten into the body.
