A truly hideous design. And I use the word 'design' very loosely.

I just got mine back from the shop. Rewired it, setup, new strings and it sounds amazing.

Re: Mustang control plate shape complaining!
Ok, this grinds my nads!
Not even sellers know which control plates they are selling.
It arrived today. It's the wrong shape! but in their listing, the picture was of the correct shape.
This is the picture from their listing.
And this is what I got!

I traced them up.
The one on the left is the correct one and the one on the right is the shitty one.
Here they are overlaid.
Red is the correct one and the green is the shitty one.

Sort of? Idk the OP was pretty harsh about it being nowhere near lined up and I look at the guitars and it’s like, shit that extra 2 degrees makes zero difference to my eyesCROSS_guitars wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 10:01 pmYou can't tell the difference between these two?Mechanical Birds wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 9:44 pmI swear I tried real hard but I can’t see a difference in like any way between the two

Re: Mustang control plate shape complaining!
I wonder if they're using the same plate for both bass and guitar.
EDIT:
Nope...a closer look reveals they're different. I'm stumped.

My collection of these mutants has been growing lately. Definitely avoid any from AllParts or their resellers.

That's interesting. I thought the Allparts ones were the correct ones and they seem to be out of stock everywhere.ThePearDream wrote: ↑Mon Sep 13, 2021 7:02 pmMy collection of these mutants has been growing lately. Definitely avoid any from AllParts or their resellers.

Yeah there are plenty of places listing it with the old picture, but I'm not going to risk ending up with another one of these:CROSS_guitars wrote: ↑Mon Sep 13, 2021 8:58 pmThat's interesting.

Re: Mustang control plate shape complaining!
eww, gross!
I bought a couple of Allparts Mustang plates 10 or so years ago and they were the correct ones, so I guess now they've gone to the dark side.
Thanks for the heads up!
