I dont know why this is getting such bad reviews could be a quality control issue and I just got lucky. I bought this for my 2014 Gibson LPJ. The neck pickup cutout is tight and pretty much perfect. I did not modify ANYTHING. The bridge cutout is a little large by comparison BUT this is where I am NOT going to knock this down in ratings. I thought about a 4 star but then thought long and hard about it. It doesnt deserve losing a star. Why?? Glad you asked. Its cheap!! Compare to all parts brand or Gibson Brand... this is $6 compared to what $20-$40 depending on source. Yeah where this lacks it makes up for in price. The edge bevel is consistent and perfect. If i had one disappointment it would be that it doesnt come with screws, but again if youre buying this to replace to change color then well you have screws and hardware already, if youre building and testing your luthier skills you have spare screws anyways, if youre adding it to a guitar that did NOT previously have holes or screws (thats what i did) then plan ahead and get some screws for $.10. I took the photos of it to show before and after and how tight/loose the fit was. Overall I am super pleased with this plate and how it came out. 5star for value. If you like spending money there are others out there but in the end you should be just as content with this.
