Product studyFender Stratocaster Backplate Black

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing a cracked or missing tremolo cavity cover
  • Switching a guitar's plastic hardware to all black
  • Covering the spring cavity after a trem block swap

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Guitars with a routed rear cavity that isn't Strat-shaped
  • Players needing a pickguard or control plate instead
  • Anyone wanting a plate without string-through access holes

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 01

Stratocaster body shape

Screw holes and outline match standard Strat rear routing. Offset or import bodies often use different hole spacing.

Detail 02

Black finish

Matches black pickguards and knobs. Against a white or parchment pickguard the contrast will be obvious.

Detail 03

Backplate, not pickguard

This covers the rear spring cavity only. The front pickup and control area needs a separate part.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Mounting screws are not included; reuse the ones from your old plate
  2. 02Compare screw hole positions to your body before drilling anything new
  3. 03Import Strat-style bodies vary; hole spacing may not line up

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does this include screws?

No. Plan on reusing your existing screws or sourcing them separately.

02Will it fit a Squier or import Strat copy?

Often, but not always. Import bodies vary in cavity size and screw placement, so compare against your guitar first.

03Is this the pickguard?

No. This is the rear plate covering the tremolo spring cavity. The pickguard is a separate front piece.

04Does it have the tremolo arm access holes?

It is cut for a standard Strat rear cavity, which includes the string-through openings on tremolo-equipped bodies.
