Custom manufactured Strat® back plate.
Black 1
Ply 0.120" Acrylic with a Rounded and Polished
Edge. Vintage style six oblong holes for strings to
pass through. Available in left or right handed
versions.
Each of our 1 ply 0.120” Acrylic
back plates with the rounded and polished edge
are custom hand manufactured in our shop
specifically for each customer. They start off
being cut out of a sheet of Acrylic with a CNC
laser which creates the basic back plate shape.
We then create the round-over edge effect by
hand with a table router where the back plate is
affixed to a routing template where we trim the
back plate to it’s final size and create the
rounded perimeter edge. From there the back
plates rounded edge is hand sanded with a fine
sandpaper to remove any tooling marks left
behind by the router bit. The smoothly
sanded rounded edge can then be polished with a
special buffing wheel and a
polishing compound used exclusively for Acrylic
which creates the highly polished and
glossy rounded edge. The back plates mounting
holes are then countersunk and a final polishing
of the entire back plate is completed. It’s a
fairly long process to create one of these
unique back plates, but we feel that final
product is one that stands above the typical
Strat® back plate that have been produced the
same way for over 50 years. This unique rounded
and polished edge is only available on our Black
or White 1 Ply 0.120" Acrylic back plates and
pickguards.
Typical turn-around time from order placement to
shipment is up to 30 days. Holiday work-loads
sometimes may increase turn-around time, but keep in
mind, we don't waste any time in getting these prepared,
packed and shipped on their way to you.
Each back plate is custom manufactured for
each customer and cannot be exchanged or
refunded.
