NancyJohnson Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Quick question. If anyone on the group has a Lakland Joe Osbourn, could they let me know whether the control plate is the same as that of a Fender Jazz please...shape, screw holes etc. I've seen a couple of these on a similar group across the point and while I'm still thinking hard about getting a Geddy Lee, the JO is also a distinct possibility too, but I'd like to convert the JO to a stack-knob configuration and it would be easier to buy an off-the-shelf bell plate for this purpose. Cheers P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I've just built a stack-knob set-up from imported components for a Fender Jazz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Err - I've just fitted a MIM control plate to my JO and it isn't an exact match (close, but where the plate meets the pickguard there is a slight difference). However - the fender plate replaced a factory fit J-retro, so maybe the factory fit standard plate is the same as a fender... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
