VMJM Scratchplate question

Post by JPCordingley » Sun Mar 17, 2019 9:01 am

Hi,

I’m thinking about getting a tort plate for my Sonic Blue VMJM. I don’t want to spend stupid money on what is essentially a piece of plastic. I’ve seen this https://m.bonanzamarket.co.uk/listings/ ... e8QAvD_BwE to fit a US JM. Will this work for a VM. I’m sure I read on this forum a few years back, that the VMs have the same screwholes and routing as the AVRIs. Is this right?

The ones at EyGuitar fit VMJM’s. If you go this route you’ll need the mounting bracket they sell for the upper roller knobs. The VMJM bracket is not compatable with the Ey pickguard.

Thank you. I’m in the UK so a US site isn’t ideal. I hadn’t considered the rhythm circuit mounting though so that’s given me something to think about. If it didn’t fit I’m sure I could fashion something.
