Does anyone have a control plate drawing that is to scale? I'd like to print it out and stick it on some pieces poster board to play with different placements of pots and switches.

Thanks,
-Chris

Why not just buy one? Sounds like you're gonna need it anyway for a project...might as well start that age old ritual of parts gathering!

This is one I got somewhere on this forum. Good Luck.

Still undecided on using a control plate vs rear route. I'll be making one from cooper to match the bridge for the Butcher Caster if I do go for front load, but I wanted to experiment with placement ahead of time. Unfortunately with the events of the Holiday weekend I am not able to just run out and grab one, but I do have a little time to my self to play with scissors...

Edit: Thanks mgdesigns, that was exactly what I was looking for! You must have posted while I was.

I made the hardware on my $100 Tele Challenge Palletcaster all from copper. Here is a pic to help you decide... myself I like the standard plate more than a "rear access plate". I just copied a plate off of another guitar.
