FenderVintage Telecaster Control Plate
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement chrome control plate for a Telecaster. For repairs, wiring swaps, or restoring a worn plate on a Tele-style guitar.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a pitted or scratched control plate on an older Tele
- Rewiring a Telecaster and starting with fresh hardware
- Tele-style partscaster builds needing a standard vintage plate
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone expecting pots, switch, jack, or wiring — plate only
- Non-Telecaster body shapes, which use different control routing
- Players wanting a tonal change; hardware like this does not affect sound
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
Telecaster body shape
Drops into a standard Tele control cavity; other shapes route their controls differently and will not line up.
Detail 03
SS pickup configuration
Built for the two-single-coil Tele circuit: three-way switch plus volume and tone.
Detail 04
Control plate only
You supply the pots, switch, jack and wire, or transfer the ones already in your guitar.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your existing plate and screw holes before ordering; Tele copies vary
- 02No pots, switch, jack, wiring or mounting screws included
- 03Transferring a loaded harness means desoldering and resoldering the jack
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come wired?
No. It is the bare metal plate. You move over your existing pots, switch and jack, or install new ones.
02Will it fit my import Telecaster copy?
Only if the plate outline and screw holes match the Fender spec. Many import bodies are routed differently, so measure first.
03Do I need to solder to install it?
Usually yes. The output jack and pot grounds are soldered, so swapping plates means desoldering and reconnecting them.
04Will this change my guitar's tone?
No. It is a mounting plate for the controls. Tone comes from the pickups, pots and capacitor you mount to it.
