920D Custom Telecaster 7-way Control Plate Upgrade

First, know that I have no major complaint. The item is built really solidly. Think of it as a heavyweight tank part, not a flimsy bumper.In terms of clear tone for the Norcaster pickups I installed, it was cleaner than my Stratocaster, which is saying quite a bit. I found the tone knob to be acceptable, though perhaps a little narrow for trebles. The pickup selection options afforded with the 7-way switch take getting used to, but since this is for studio work, not a big both (with the tone knob not pulled out, it works like a standard Nashville Telecaster).My main complaint was that the jack was miswired from the factory. When first installed, it produced a ton of static. After I emailed the company (and their support team was fast and accurate), we swapped the wires on the jack and it worked A-OK (note to 920D, color code the wiring batter on the jack so your assemblers won't make this mistake ... that you correctly deduced the problem first time indicates this happens too often).The only other complaint was the web site photos for "hot to wire in your pickups" was a little low resolution. They need to post one high-rez snap to make everyone comfortable with what goes where.

This replacement control plate for Nashville-style Telecasters (those with three pickups instead of the standard two) is totally worth it. I now have seven distinct tones to work with, and with all three pickups selected, I can get some cool Pink Floydian sounds. With top-of-the-line pots, pickup selector switch, Orange Drop capacitor, wiring, and multi-contact output jack, this replacement for the stock Fender control plate electronics will improve your overall tone as well. If you have a Nashville Telecaster, run--don't walk--to get this upgrade. You won't regret it!

Control plate did not work when I made the connections according to the wiring instructions provided.I returned the plate thinking it was faulty and my wife ordered another one. Same problem.We figured that the plate works but wiring instructions provided are incorrect.Disregard the instructions and use an ohmmeter to determine what does what on the 5-way switch.Once wired correctly this is a great control plate with minimal ground noise.Seller did not refund the return shipping even though they provide wrong instructions.Screw positions were fine, contrary to some other reviews.

I'm giving this product and seller 5 stars for a number of reasons. First , the seller responded promptly when I inquired as to the expected delivery date. Second , the seller included a diagram showing how to connect this product to my pickups which was very helpful. Third, this product works exactly as advertised. The push/pull tone knob activates/deactivates the neck pickup giving two more pickup combinations. The sound you get when all three pickups are active is full and rich. There was no problem installing this product on my American standard telecaster body - the fit was perfect.

Love these custom control plates. My 4 POS is fantastic. The wiring is really well done.

Now I got the Tele and a Strat tones in one guitar! I am now able to dial the classic neck and bridge Tele p-up combination which is missing in the Nashville Deluxe swicth plus the 5-way classic strat tone switching. Loaded mine with Dimarzio pickups and it’s sounding delicious!-)Customer service was excellent when I contacted them for help about the missing wire in the circuit. They replaced the item asap without any question asked!

nice product - quick ship - prewired

Sounds great, very well constructed, no issues at all. Any problems you can see written by reviewers about wiring are easily solved by just googling the correct wiring schematic. Its very easy to find.
