This fits both Fender basses and Strats and Telecasters. It's suitable for any Fender instrument without a Micro-tilt adjustment.

In recent years, Fender has changed this part to a lighter, thinner piece of non-ferrous metal, presumably to save costs. Traditionally, this part was made from solid chrome-plated steel. I don't know what it is now, but it's definitely not steel. It doesn't pass the magnet test. Upon receiving this you'll probably question if it's a genuine Fender part or a counterfeit part. I assure you it's real. It just feels cheap. The packaging indicates this part is Made in USA.

On the plus side, if you want to save nearly an ounce on the overall weight of your guitar, this might do the trick. Seriously. A lie I'm telling myself to convince myself that this is superior to the classic steel neck plate is that because this plate is thinner, more screw threads make contact with the neck.

It’s impossible to imagine a world without Fender guitars, and if you’re like many of the guitarists at Sweetwater, then Fender not only made the first guitar you ever bought " they made the last one too! From building the first mass-produced solidbody electric guitars and basses in the 1950s to creating some of the most influential amplifier designs in history, it’s no wonder why Fender is one of the biggest names in the business. As one of the world’s largest Fender dealers, we have countless guitars, basses, amps, effects pedals, and accessories in stock and ready to ship, whenever you need them. We’re always getting our hands on their latest creations, and there’s nothing we love more than to tell our customers all about them! So, whether you’re looking for your first axe or a Custom Shop creation, make sure to give your Sweetwater Sales Engineer a call at (800) 222-4700.
