Cygnus x-1 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Hi all, does anyone know if the scratchplate from the fretted VMJ will go on the fretless VMJ squier, in other words are the neck pocket-pick up-control plate dimensions the same on both models? Also if a scratchplate were to be bought off eBay etc. what model of Fender (or other) is the same size as the VMJ squier(s)? Any help or experience appreciated, Nick.

Secret was taking my time and being a bit of a perfectionist (nerd). My opinion was, if I bought one and it was nowhere near fitting I would sell it on, guess I got lucky....... although I bought a brand new allparts black pearle one for a CV jazz and it doesn't fit, so i'll have to sell that one!

I note you said you got one off ebaY . . . which, with a little bit of fiddling you got to fit perfectly . . . Can you remember exactly what it was that you ordered and who from ? . . . ie make/manufacturer and source ? I'd be very grateful to know as I reckon ordering the same make that you used is as low a risk option as I'm gonna find ! . . Any similar advice from anyone else who's in the know about this issue very much appreciated of course.
