Ignore

Either Mrs T has tidied it away…or one of my delightful children has messed with and lost…the neck plate to a Yamaha BB350F.

They’re about 10mm longer than a fender one I have spare but a remarkably similar width.

Handy. 😒

Am I on a hiding to nothing and just need to redrill or does someone know of a supplier of oddly sized neck plates.

Another option is to do the more modern sunken washer x 4 in the body.

Im genuinely just piddled off - why can’t stuff be left alone?!

Ah, the dreaded "in a safe place".

Look for something else and you'll find it.

Make one from a piece of 3mm plate or something ?

Mrs T is probably a little piddled off thinking .... bits of guitar everywhere, why can't he just put stuff away??!! ....  then I wouldn't have to tidy it 😁

Can Yamaha not supply you one directly?

As regards making one.. It's not too bad especially if you've got a small angle grinder and a decent ish drill.. I made one from a bit of galv plate from a joist hanger once ..

Hmm.. Up to you ( and it's the easy opiton)... but my sense of "over engineering" would rather have a nice lump of metal on the back...

Well there you go then, you're perfectly entitled to bin 'em... 👍

[Waddo Soqable]

With a neck plate you could do the "80s upgrade" thing and make one from a nice chunky sheet of brass.. 

[AndyTravis]

Well…

I knew it was a slim chance - but I seemingly thought it’d be a great idea to post it to @Andyjr1515 along with the neck he fretted for me…

Why - I do not know.

He’s found it and will be posting it to me.

I am a knob. And I didn’t bin any shoes as I dismantled a sideboard in the hallway - convinced that it’d fallen behind a draw.
