Description

A scratchplate for my Fender Nashville Deluxe Telecaster. In theory should fit most 8-hole Tele bodies, but do measure first.

Only uses about 61g of filament so MUCH cheaper than buying aftermarket plates.

Prints upside down, so the top surface will be flat or textured depending on your printer's plate. Saves ironing / marks all over the top. Also allows the use of plates that embed textured finishes or holograms etc.

I set to have 10 walls so there's no issue with strength around screws, with 15% infill elsewhere. Works well on my guitar, no problems installing. Example printed in Sunlu PLA+ on a Bambu A1 with a 0.4mm nozzle. Yes, it's a vile yellow. Look, I kinda like it!

Screw holes are not countersunk, as it's my first conversion from a drawing and unsure how! If anyone knows how to edit the file and add countersink to holes please let me know!

Print away and have fun! Please upload any makes you do as I'd love to see your guitars.

Accurately dimensioned Tele pickguard. (note - missing top left screw hole? No big deal, easy to correct...) Oriented correctly for a pickguard print (face down). Printed in PLA white on an etched smooth plate, gave a nice pearloid look. Shown mocked up on a MII Squier. I'll be using this on a MIM body-based partscaster build. Thank you!

Oh! I’ll fix the missing hole, good spot, thank you! Your build is looking fab, thanks for sharing.

@xavierbacon

Are you going to Nashville this one? or should I upload a plain version with the third pickup hole blanked out?

Replying to @xavierbacon :

Not this one, but another guitar this is going on. Thank you for the kind offer. Someone else may find that useful, though. This has the cleanest geometry of any Tele pickguard on the site
