guitman32 Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 Hey all, First I want to say thanks to everyone for being so helpful...I havent really been able to give alot of input because I am a beginner, but I really appreciate all your help. I was looking through the Warmoth site in their hardware section, and I came across a "Neck Plate Pad". It can be found here Warmoth Hardware Page "Classy isolator pad" -say what now??? Now is this a necessary piece of hardware, or if not, what would this thing be used for? Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 The neck plate pad goes between the body and the metal neck plate. I don't think they are absolutely necessary, but the will protect the finish on the body. I wish I had used them on my last Stratocopy! I had indentations on the finish due to pressure of the screws used to tighten the neck to the body. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitman32 Posted December 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 So it doesnt have any effect on the stability of the neck or resulting tone??? In other words, its purely an aesthetic deal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 Yup thats the deal and even they will dig into a finish........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitman32 Posted December 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 So you think its worth the trouble of ordering one for my V project? Do any of you use them in your projects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 I think they add to th ugliness of the bolt plate, but thats my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
