These are now Korean-made and seem slightly thinner than the same older style (USA MADE) versions. Chroming is great quality though and the pocket screws are OEM spec. They work well on my STARTO-Clone parts casters and for repairs in the shop.

Your average neck plate. Feels, installs, and looks great.

perfect fit. Official Fender part. Looks amazing.

This is the real deal. Excellent packaging -- didn't cause scratches like many cheapos do when they put the screws again the outside surface.It fits my MIM Fender Tele perfectly and looks great.

My made in Mexico Telecaster had a plain neck plate and this makes it look legit Fender. Fit perfectly, no problems.

Even though it's just a neck plate with a logo, it makes a nice difference,I put mine on a Fender Jaguar, it was a perfect fit, I also ended up usingthe screws that came with it, they were the exact same size, so all in all, a great buy....

Mis en place sur une Fender jazz Bass. Prend place parfaitement, belle qualité.

Very nice, heavy, and well made. I applied a chemical patina to match the hardware on my vintage build and I love it. I will definitely buy more for my future builds.

ひっくり返した時の満足感はあるかなぁ　前にFENDERのカリフォルニアなんちゃら？って刻印が彫ってある　ジョイントプレートを購入したのですが、やたらと重量が軽くてプラスチック？とおもう様な感じだったんですけどFのプレートは　それから比べれば重量があります。これくらいが普通なのかもしれませんが？　音とかは　わかりませんね。見た目のカスタム目的で買ったのででもメッキも綺麗だし良いと思います。

I purchased this to replace an older Fender neckplate, which was 'Fender Script' and scratched, rusted, corroded, worn. I like the single "F" over the whole name. Anyways, this is an exact fit replacement for a Fender Stratocaster.Complaints that it is thin, well I compared it to my 2019 MIM Strat neck plate, same thickness, same engraving. The neck bolts are also exact size.Addressing some of the complaints that other neck plates are thicker - yes. Squier neckplates are thicker. Also the Squier bolts are fatter. This plate will NOT work on an existing Squier unless you use the Squier bolts. I checked on a friend's Squier and yes - - the bolts are very different and the plate is thicker.Also, if you tighten it very tightly, it will look like it is warping. Go check some MIM Strats in the store..same plate, same warpage.Why Fender chose to use the thin metal on these, I don't know. They are thick on Squiers and almost all other Fender guitars.That being said, I am still giving it 5 stars as I expected it to be exactly like the one on my newer guitar, and it was...so no surprises. It also was an exact fit replacement, even with the enclosed new bolts (which I used successfully).

Ho ricevuto la prima placca piena di bolle a livello della cromatura. Ho restituito il pezzo e me ne è stato inviato un altro senza bolle ma con una forma di taglio sprecisa (gli angoli della placca non sono tutti uguali, in particolare uno sembra malamente sgrossato a mano).

The genuine article! Certified, authentic Fender replacement part. Nice. The caveat. Do you REALLY want to modify your Fender Stratocaster? That is the question you most want to ask yourself. Why? Well, the first thing I noticed upon examining the plastic bag the plate and 'SCREWS' came in was the LENGTH of the "SCREWS."Pretty long I said to myself. I'll just go ahead and use the screws from the plate that was on there to screw this on. D'OH!!! Maybe you noticed on your Tele or Strat that the "LONG SCREWS" go THROUGH THE BODY then into the NECK of the guitar.Really. I did not realize that before asking myself upon examining the task I was not sure whether I would undertake or not once the realization hit me that I'm actually removing a part that holds the neck of the guitar to the body. I do NOT know what I was thinking.Later, since the idea of doing this or NOT was just there bouncing around between my ears not consciously thinking about it really. It was just there. So among that calm subconscious reflection I found myself loosening the strings almost completely so there was no tension on the neck whatsoever.I put down some acoustic tiles on my designated 'work' bench and laid that baby face down; ensuring the 5 way pick-up switch was centered and between two of the tiles. You can probably use soft rags; however you choose to care for your guitar. Judging by the looks of some 60s era Strats for example, that get such high praise for tone, but the body wasn't shown much respect; they're always 9 times out of ten beat to I don't know what, again 'BUT' supposedly still worth thousands. Personally I wouldn't pay $50 bucks for one looking like that... anyway... careful there.Take note of how there might be a slight separation between the neck and body after having so carefully removed those screws. I find it wise to remove the screws by hand with a screwdriver initially rather than using a drill with a Phillips head screw bit so that you can get a feel for the tension of the screw, or the amount of torque you want to apply when putting the screws back in.I had to lift gently on the neck holding it by the headstock to ensure the screws individually at the top especially went STRAIGHT back into the holes from which they came. Long story short, the operation was a success. If you don't consider yourself a 'handy person' that usually doesn't get things right the first time, I don't recommend buying this to swap out for a generic looking one that came on your MIM Strat or Tele. I have a Tele made in Indonesia, but it is one solid piece of wood with no neck plate. I was going to practice on that one til I saw there was no neck plate.So be advised in the event you think it would be cool to replace the existing generic, no-name or initial plate withan 'F' plate because you will actually be taking apart your guitar! Things that came to my mind (LATER) after having received the plate and "before" starting the job was: how would this affect the truss rod? Wow. I'll be removing the screws that hold the neck and body together.You would be wise to ask yourself the same questions. Oh well, in the words of Mr. Floyd (perhaps???), but NOT to Mrs. Floyd whom years later he kept hanging up on in perhaps familiar to you a song, of Young Lust but just the same "Careful with that axe Eugene."

I put a Fender neck on my Squier Affinity body, along with replacing everything with Fender parts and top quality electronics. This guitar is incredible now and I absolutely love it! Except for one little thing.The plate on the back still said "Squier". While this is a mostly insignificant detail, it just didn't feel right being that there really wasn't much Squier left.Cut to now; I just received and installed this "F-logo" Fender neck plate. And it was the last little spice that brought it all together. It's mirror-like shiny and just looks awesome on the guitar. And of course, it does it's job as the plate keeping those neck screws where they should be. I love it.The negative reviews are sort of accurate, but only in one way. This plate is a tiny bit thinner than the ones that come standard on a Fender guitar. However, the plate is high quality and definitely not a piece of junk like others said. I actually tried to make it bend any way I could. I even tightened the neck screws as tight as I felt comfortable and it didn't budge at all. It's a solid piece of metal, and looks amazing.Maybe some people got a bad one, but that doesn't mean it's a bad product. The fact that amost every review is 5 stars should be enough to see that. Every product out there has a dud every now and again.Highly recommend!
