1 Piece GuitarFamily Metal Jack Plate For Electric Guitar ( #0445 )

It's the dome one not flat or oval. Recesses into the Jack hole.

Did you happen to get my Tapatalk message? Was just asking for your natural tele build diary link. Can't find it for the life of me...

Hey Andy40, here's a pic of the recessed Jack installed. Might suit a side with less curve better, but I still prefer the look to a plate.

And a very cheap upgrade option as well. Only a few bucks from my new favourite AliExpress dealer. Totally stoked with the cost, quality and postage speed of their stuff.

Aaaand she's finished. Intonated beautifly and holding tune like a boss. Although I do feel it's more of a he because my 3.5 yr old daughter named it "Browny Boy" ever since it got stained.

Feels lovely to play and sounds great. Super happy I decided to add the series/parallel switches to vary up the sonic options. The extra little bits of effort put in, like rounding off the square edges of the fretboard etc., really pay off on making it feel great under the hands. I'll throw up an audio demo in the next little while. And I'll put up a few more extra photos as a gallery too soon.

Thanks all for your help and guidance along the way. There will be plenty more questions coming your way, don't worry about that.

Final shots look great BD. Can you do a quick summary of what is stock and what is upgraded. I went hunting through the Build diary and couldn't find what pups you ended up using and how the electrickery works.
Mine's taking ages, but I think its one of those builds that needs time put in.
