Any one have any leads on 60s style Fender XII/Maverick control plate? Both current models have the same or close enough plates but I can’t seem to find a source for this dang “v” shaped control panel. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I know there are templates available- are you able to make your own, or are you just looking to buy one pre-made?

I was hoping to find one for purchase but at this point making one is looking like my only option

I bought a NOS one from Angela instruments probably 12+ years ago, so that supply has likely run out.

Before I moved the part on, I scanned it and traced it:



sometimes, this ebay seller takes XIIs apart....could be worth messaging him to see if he has one left, as he took apart two XIIs in the past 3 months or so:

Best of luck!

Send 'im to the Butcher!

Looks like these are sold out right now but I'm sure there will be more in stock eventually.

They are pretty close to the original.

The Butcher had a victim up a couple weeks ago. The control plate, knobs, and full wiring harness w/pickup switch went for over $200 bucks. Which I thought was ridiculous at the time but now that I’ve gone through an exhaustive search kind of wish I had bid lol. I ended up taking the plate off my dad’s 65’ and gave it to a machinist friend who’s replicating it out of polished stainless steel for me. I’ll post a pic when I get it in!

Hi
Do you happen to have the exact sizes of the cavity plate and the pickguard. I'm not able to find them anywhere.
Thanks a bunch!
