Fender F Neckplate Chrome

Purchased this as a replacement for a neck plate on my made in China Squier Classic VIbe 50 Stratocaster. The Squier plate is cheap pot metal and became cloudy and corroded after 8 years. I replace it with this product and it fit perfectly with no problems. I compared the thickness with the original Squier Neck Plate and they are the same. It is not thinner then the original plate. The new Fender plate I received is made in China. I saw some past reviews saying they were made in Korea. Maybe that plate was thninner? I am very happy with my purchase and it looks great on my guitar.

Holes line up, F stamp. Good product.

Good price,look,install everything! 👍

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).

I replaced a damaged blank one on an old Squier with one of these and it looked great, worked great.

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!

Good quality, easy installation, perfect fit. Note of possible interest: This was less dense than the Squier one it was replacing. Few fractions of a gram lighter.

Perfect Fender replacement part. The thickness and the beveling of the screw holes are better than the photos show. Recommended!

Perfetto

👍

Exactly what it’s supposed to be. Swift delivery. Thanks

Great quality. Does the job just fine.

Beware of cheap imitations. This is the real thing and expected Fender quality.
