Hey guys- new poster here WOOOO!!!

Ok question - I couldn't find what I was looking for in a search so here goes:

I have a 2004 American Deluxe, and a 2005 Standard Strat.

I love the 3 hole plate and rounded heel of the American Deluxe, but my Standard doesn't have that.

Anyone see any structural/tuning/strength issues with replacing the 4 hole plate with a 3 hole plate, and rounding down that corner? Maybe even angling the wood in a little?

Assuming I don't make it smaller or thinner than what's used on the American...


Thanks for the help and I hope to stick around this board more (now that I know my username)

I don't see where it would be a problem but I would let a good tech do this for me. For one, I wouldn't have the tools to do the contour let alone the proper tools and techniques to refinish this area.
