FenderVintage Stratocaster Back Plate Tremolo Cavity Cover
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Vintage-style back plate that covers the tremolo spring cavity on a Strat. A cheap fix for a missing, cracked or mismatched cover.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a lost or cracked spring cavity cover
- Matching a back plate to a newly swapped pickguard
- Tidying up a partscaster or refinished Strat body
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Hardtail Strats with no tremolo spring cavity
- Players who leave the cavity open for quicker spring adjustments
- Non-Stratocaster bodies with different cavity routing
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
Vintage style
Follows the vintage outline and screw placement, which differs from some modern Strat back plates.
Detail 03
Stratocaster shape
Cut for Strat rear routing only. Other body shapes route their cavities differently.
Detail 04
Two string access slots
Vintage plates have openings at the string ferrules, so you can restring without removing the plate.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your existing plate's screw hole spacing against this one before buying
- 02Screws are not included; reuse the ones from your old plate
- 03Do not overtighten — thin plastic plates crack at the screw holes
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do screws come with it?
No. Reuse the screws from your existing back plate. They are standard small pickguard screws if yours are missing.
02Will it fit a hardtail Strat?
No. Hardtail bodies have no tremolo spring cavity, so there is nothing for this plate to cover.
03Can I restring without taking it off?
Yes. The vintage design has slots at the string ferrules, so ball ends pass through with the plate in place.
04Does it fit modern American Strats?
Check first. This follows vintage spec, and some modern Strats use different screw hole placement. Compare against your current plate.
