Professional grade components
As a luthier, I appreciate the consistency of Alpha products. The iron plate is sturdy, and the switch action is solid. This is my go-to for client repairs.

Upgrade from stock wiring
Replaced the cheap wiring in my budget guitar with this Alpha plate. The difference in noise reduction and signal clarity is night and day. Very happy with this purchase.

Perfect fit for my Tele build
This plate fit perfectly into my custom Telecaster body. The 250K pots feel smooth and the silver plating looks great under the pickguard. Highly recommended for DIY builders.

Good quality, minor soldering needed
The components are high quality, though I had to re-solder one connection just to be safe. Once installed, the tone is crisp and clear. Good value for the price.

Classic Tele tone
Exactly what I needed to restore the vintage vibe on my project guitar. The 250K pots roll off nicely without losing too much highs. Installation took less than 30 minutes.

Works well but tight fit
The electronics work great, but the plate was slightly too wide for my aftermarket pickguard. Had to do some minor filing. Otherwise, the sound is excellent.
Q: Are the pots audio or linear taper?
A: Both potentiometers featured in this assembly are Audio Taper (Logarithmic), which is standard for volume and tone controls on electric guitars.
Q: Is the ground wire pre-attached to the plate?
A: Yes, the ground lug is pre-soldered to the iron plate to ensure proper shielding and grounding once you secure the plate to the guitar body.
Q: Can I use this for a humbucker setup?
A: While physically compatible, 250K pots are typically designed for single-coil pickups. For humbuckers, we generally recommend 500K pots for optimal brightness, though this will still function.
Q: Will this fit a Squier Affinity Telecaster?
A: Yes, this plate follows the standard Telecaster mounting pattern and should fit most Squier Affinity models without modification.
Q: Does this come with the output jack included?
A: No, this pack includes only the control plate assembly with pots and switch. The output jack must be purchased separately or sourced from your existing parts.
