This neck plate is great value and comes with the mounting screws too -which is very convenient. The plate is chrome covered brass and very well made with no rough edges. The plate is slightly thinner than some of the more modern Fender neckplates, which means it doesn't protrude as much and therefore makes upper fret playing very slightly easier. A downside of this is that if you over tighten the 4 neck screws you may distort the plate a little bit -as it could flex and bend a little bit under the excessive pressure.
