Contoured Neck Mounting Plate
Build a better playing guitar
Building with a contoured heel? This custom plate makes it easy to attach the neck to your one-of-a-kind creation. Don't miss this special deal on this unique upgrade!
A contoured heel makes a bolt-on neck much more comfortable to play. With just a simple shaping of the traditional square heel, reaching higher frets is much easier. Many modern builders like Suhr, Ibanez, ESP and more have incorporated this feature into their custom shop builds.
This plate is designed to use with your own new build. It's easy to follow the curves of the plate as a starting point for shaping your heel, and the screws are long enough to go through standard thickness Fender-style heels.
Dimensions:
- Plate dimensions: 2" x 1-3/8" (contoured side), 2" x 2-1/2" (standard side) (50.8mm x 35mm, 50.8mm x 63.5mm)
- Mounting hole spacing: 2" x 1" (contoured side), 2" x 1-1/2" (standard side) (50.8mm x 25.4mm, 50.8mm x 38.1mm)
- Screws (4 included): 1-3/4" (44.45mm) Phillips ovalhead
- Thickness 5/64" (1.98mm)
We recommend drilling 1/8" (3.00mm) diameter holes in the neck, and 3/16" (4.75mm) diameter holes in the body. If you're building a fully rounded heel, we recommend using Neck Mounting Ferrules instead of a mounting plate.
Looking for a neck? We have finished necks from Fender and Mighty Mite, and torrified, figured, and birdseye neck blanks that are ready for you to build your dream guitar. When using a pre-drilled Fender neck, you will have to locate and drill the offset hole.
Please note: these plates do not fit Fender Deluxe bodies. Our Contoured Neck Mounting Plate for Fender fits those bodies perfectly.
