anyone ever hear of it? shopped there? he sells and "Loves to trade" pretty cool but this caught my eye like WOAH!

if you scroll down to MISC PARTS then to Fender neckplates

: F-plate $50, very rare #115 F-plate (yes..it's REAL!) $100, ’63-’64 L-plate $175, ’66-’67 F-plate $150

Holly crap that is low i've never seen a plate that low ever...

thanks for moving it, i wasn't sure exactly where to put it

I doubt that that would be legit.  F plates started with six digit numbers.

wow that totally screwed me up

The ones with the lowest numbers still have six digits across, but they started F plates in late '65 or early '66 (I forget now-used to know all of that crap) in the 100,000s.  L plates were before that.  The font in that looks slightly larger too, so it could be any old F plate (Fender has sold blank ones for years on any Fender accessory rack in any shop) with numbers stamped.  I sure as hell wouldn't drop a Franklin on that one!

Some of the Acoustics had very low numbers...but they had a "crest" shaped plate...but you never know.
I have never seen a 3 digit plate.
