I am putting this on a recent acquisition, a custom guitar given to me. It should be fine as I am having a luthier install it. He asked me to get a blank plate. It's hard to tell accurately what colors will look like on computer screens, but this was spot on color-wise for my needs. The blank appears to fit my application, a concern since it is a custom instrument, a HSS with a different control scheme . Shipped in a padded envelope, Came with chrome screws, no big deal as I got gold ones to match the rest of the hardware.
