The cream color is a little light and does not match pickup rings nor bindings sold by Stewmac. But this is it! Gibson also doesn't offer all of its parts in the same shade of cream. This ring looks a little flimsy and cheapo, but so does Gibson's. A good, well rounded, fine ring would look strange.
Good quality item, self-adhesive for easy application. Color is a good match for new un-yellowed cream Les Paul components.
These are exact matches for the Les Paul switch plates. No reservations in any way. I do secretly wish I could get these with the words "Neck" and "Bridge" instead of the "Treble" and "Rhythm" (which Gibson decided before I was born, but makes no sense IMO). Great replacement product.
As someone mentioned, printing is not very perfect, but it's good enough. It's about the same as shown on the hi-res photo so what you see is what you get. Mine has a couple of small gold smudges far from letters that are very visible because of the black background. It will do the job OK, I just wish there weren't any smudges :)
You may expect this plate to exactly match the color of the cream bindings and cream pickup rings. It does not. Its color is lighter and yellowish. It is cheap and looks cheap.
It looks ok from far, but the edges raise up as you tighten the switch. too thin.
Even though the Gibson plastic is thicker, the paint quality on this plate is far superior. The Gibson one is sloppy and 10x the price.
...And it looks nice as well on my Gibson LP.
I love Les paul Guitars, and this plate is very nice to my loved Les Pauls......
...the gold leaf printing could be better. The washers have adhesive with a liner on the backside. Great idea for keeping the washer from rotating, however I don't want adhesive on my nitro so I removed it (which took a bit of time). Good color on the cream ring, not "pink" like the Gibson USA parts. I had to enlarge the hole slightly to fit the nut on my stock Gibson switch.
