Selected User Reviews For Fender F Neckplate Chrome
Beware. Metal with a thin sheen to it, as well as screws with a thin sheen to If this is a genuine Fender product, it is inferior to the original "on the guitar" back plate and screws. The screws and back plates on the original Fender Stratocaster are both thick. This item's screws were made of a flimsy lighter material and were physically smaller than the original screws, rendering them useless. I've attached some product images. Take a look at how the Fender Logo is reflected in the plate. It's only a couple of millimeters thick! Take a look at the screws and see how small they are. If you're replacing something, they're useless because the hole you're putting them into is bigger than the screws! Beware!.
This plate had been described as thin in the reviews. I usually blame unruly customers for some negative feedback. IN THIS CASE, ON THE OTHER HAND, IT IS TRUE. My old Stratocaster's neck plate had corroded, so I needed to replace it. The corners started to bend inward as soon as I tightened the screws (see photos). I came to a halt and took off the new plate, replacing it with the old. Even the Squier neck plates, which I have, are noticeably thicker. br>I'm not sure why Fender would sell a product of such low quality.
This was purchased to complement the vintage appearance of the Fender Mustang I'm restoring. It came with four screws and was packaged in Fender packaging. It has no resemblance to an original neck plate, except for the "F. " To begin with, at only, it is significantly thinner. 056" in comparison to the original at 078". Second, there is no countersunk chamfer for the oval head screws, so the holes are simply straight cut. All of this adds up to a cheap-looking and feeling part, which disappointed me because I expected more from a genuine Fender part labeled "Made in USA. ".
This guitar is fantastic right now, and I adore it. There's just one minor snag. br>br>On the back plate, it still said "Squier. " While this is a minor point, it seemed out of place given how little Squier was left. br>br>Now, let's go back to the beginning. I just got this "F-" and put it in. Fender neckplate with the "logo" And the final spice was the icing on the cake. It's a reflection of itself. It's gleaming and looks great on the guitar. And, of course, it does its job as the plate that keeps the neck screws in place. It appeals to me. br>br>The negative reviews are accurate in some ways, but only in one. This plate is a fraction of an inch thinner than the ones that come standard with a Fender guitar. The plate, on the other hand, is of excellent quality and is not a piece of junk, as some have claimed; in fact, I tried everything I could to bend it. I even tightened the neck screws as far as I could go and it still wouldn't budge. It's a solid piece of metal with a stunning appearance. br>br>Perhaps some people received a bad one, but that doesn't mean it's a bad product; the fact that almost every review is 5 stars should be proof enough. Every product has one or two duds every now and then. br>br>It's a must-have!.
It's not thick enough. This was purchased as a present for my MIM P- Bass. When I first opened the package, I noticed that it was noticeably thinner than the standard plate without a logo. It is unmistakably thinner, as others have pointed out. It's also a tenth of a gram lighter. When I tightened the screws, they dimpled at the corners. I'm going to put the stock plate back on and try to return this garbage!.
I wish I'd known about it sooner. Unless, of course, you're unconcerned about the quality of the product. I've only just opened it, but the item is of such poor quality that I would never use it on my instrument. This is from Fender, and it's made in the United States, so why are they shipping it? Fender USA isn't something that people buy to save money. Others have pointed out that the thickness is a mere 0. The screw holes are not bevelled and measure 056" (measured), which is well below the industry standard. The ground isn't completely level - Without even touching it, your reflection resembles a circus mirror, with the corners already distorted out of flat. So, what are my options? Forget the "F" and go for something of good quality that can be found easily on the internet.
Fender's F stamped neck plates are far superior to those made overseas before the company reintroduced production. The Fender plates are as thick as their stock MIM plates and have a better finish due to the polished steel. I purchased a non-alcoholic beverage. A few years ago, Fender released an F stamped neck plate that was significantly thinner and pitted. These fender plates are made of high-quality steel and have a great look to them. Fender, thank you for making these once more.
These aren't as thick as modern ones, I understand. But the one I got was identical to my '73 p bass plate in every way (except for the serial number on the '73). It also fit perfectly on the 85 Squier jazz bass I'm restoring, though I had to use the original screws because they were a little bigger, but they still fit the plate. The squier and my '73 both have the small black plastic pad that goes between the body and the plate, but I tried one of these on a frankenfender Strat without it and it worked perfectly. Some companies, for example, simply use threaded sleeves with no neck plate. This will suffice, and it looks far superior to those bearing the word "Corona" on them, especially these days.
