Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
Plan on reusing the screws from your old plate. If yours are missing, standard Strat back plate screws are a cheap separate buy.
Most Squier Strats use the standard Strat rear route and screw pattern, so it usually fits. Check your hole spacing before ordering.
Yes. It is the tremolo cavity cover, cut for string access to the spring block.
Not exactly. Pearloid has a swirled finish and reads differently than flat white plastic, especially under stage lighting.
