I bought and received this Strat Back Plate new and in perfect condition. It was sent perfectly packaged and actually a week sooner than expected. Right away I removed it from the package and installed it on my guitar in less than five minutes and the fit was a perfect fit. The screw holes in the new Strat Back Plate lined up precisely with the existing screw holes in my guitar. The new Strat Back Plate meets my approval and I would recommend anyone else to buy it. It has turned my guitar into something I have been craving for a long time and will continue to cherish. The best part is I only spent a few dollars to get this desired look I've been wanting without spending hundreds of dollars. Thank you, Musiclily!!!
