Telecaster Control Plate with Controls

grabcad

While working on a project, I came across Nemanja Petkov's superb Fender Telecaster control plate design, which is exactly what I was looking for. I ran into a small issue when I couldn't make the control plate fit in my CAD model, as its width was 33mm. The usual width of the original Fender plate is about 31.75mm, while many third-party plates come in 32mm widths. I modfied the model in Fusion 360 to a width of 32mm while keeping its length, fillets, and the positions of all its components intact. I retained the overall length of 160mm of the plate from the original design, as it is close enough to the standard Fender length of 6.27"/159.26mm and matches that of most third-party plates such as those by Gotoh.I added 3/8" (9.525mm) diameter shaft holes for CTS pots which were not there in the original model, in case you'd like to use just the bare plate in your design. Finally, I labeled the various components which makes it easier to turn them on or off.In the hope that the community finds it helpful, and with Nemanja's permission, I am sharing my files here. These include the original Fusion 360 file with its parametric history intact so you can verify the design steps if you like, as well as STEP and IGES files.If you like this design, please be sure to leave a "Like" for Nemanja Petkov's original design at Telecaster Control Plate
