FenderReplacement Vintage Neck Plate
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement neck plate for bolt-on Fender-style guitars and basses. Buy it if yours is rusted, scratched, or missing after a neck removal.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Refinishing an older bolt-on guitar with corroded hardware
- Replacing a plate lost during a neck shim or swap
- Cleaning up a partscaster build's back end
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Set-neck or neck-through instruments with no plate at all
- Guitars using micro-tilt or four-bolt-with-insert systems of other dimensions
- Anyone expecting screws to come along with it
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
Bolt-on hardware
Only works on instruments where the neck attaches with screws through the body's back.
Detail 03
Four-screw layout
Screw spacing must match your existing holes or the plate will not sit flush.
Detail 04
Metal construction
Spreads clamping force across the joint so screw heads do not dig into the body wood.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this fit any bolt-on guitar?
Only ones with a matching four-screw pattern and plate footprint. Measure your current plate's screw spacing and outside dimensions against the neck pocket before ordering.
02Are screws included?
No. Plan on reusing your original neck screws or sourcing a set separately.
03Do I need to take the strings off?
Yes. Removing the neck requires slackening and generally removing the strings, and the neck will need a setup afterward.
04Will this change my guitar's tone?
No. It is a structural cover plate. Its job is to distribute screw pressure and protect the finish, not to alter sound.
