AndyTravis Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) 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?! Edited July 26, 2021 by AndyTravis Found it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Ah, the dreaded "in a safe place". Look for something else and you'll find it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

Waddo Soqable Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) 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 .. Edited June 29, 2021 by Waddo Soqable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddo Soqable Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 With a neck plate you could do the "80s upgrade" thing and make one from a nice chunky sheet of brass.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 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. [CLOSE THREAD BECAUSE IM A DUNCE] 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I didn’t bin any shoes as I dismantled a sideboard in the hallway - convinced that it’d fallen behind a draw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
