Deedee Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) Hi all I'm going to have a look at a Silver Series Squier P today. It looks rather lovely, however if I buy it I may want to fit a black scratchplate instead of the tort one that's fitted. Does anybody know of a supplier or model of plate that would fit 'off the shelf'? Cheees Edited July 22, 2017 by Deedee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tort may grow on me, but I do like a black one on sunburst 😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like it could be the quickest/easiest solution and as you say, it's reversible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]if you have a peek on ebay and put in vinyl wrap it should show you what you need I buy a4 size sheets they will do on guard and only cost a couple of quid just take your time applying it and try not to get any air bubble in or then just trim the excess off I use a very sharp scalpel for this if you take care the results are most pleasing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoirBass Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I put a Squier branded scratchplate on my Silver series P. It was a direct fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was tort and I'm sure was listed as a deluxe precision, meaning it was designed to have three knobs and a side jack. It did however fit and I just used the three holes as volume, tone and the jack socket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deedee Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 Well after all that faffing, it turns out that the Black plate on my 2011 Squier VM Precision fits! 🙄 Now I know some people may want to stone me for swapping them over, but I for one think they both look great.
