Hi, I originally posted this in the Custom Shop a couple weeks ago and although quite alot of views no replies, so thought I'd try a wider forum audience...

Some of you may remember the Jerry Donahue Strat which featured an Inductance Plate on the bridge pick up - does anyone know what this looked like?

Was it on the bottom of the pick up or was it a plate similar to the Telecaster bridge placed under the Strat pick guard? The write ups on this guitar suggest it could be either construction.

Also the Custom Classic Strat currently available boasts an Inductance Plate under the bridge pick up - does anyone know what this one looks like?

Any views on how these plates improve/affect the sound??

I'd like to try one - does anyone know where I can get one as they dont seem to have a Fender part# available.

Thanks,
John

Lindy Fralin's BasePlate does the trick. 10 bucks direct.

Thanks Jim for the info on this baseplate - have ordered one up and look forward to trying it out.

Now I know what its called and who makes it, seems from reviews I've found that it adds about 10% more bass to the bridge pick-up without affecting the mids or highs.

Anyone got any views on using one of these baseplates and the affect on sound?

Cheers,
John
