Name this scratchplate...

Slimbert

I need/want to buy one of these in black, but I'm really struggling to find one for sale, which I think is because I don't know the correct name/term for it.

It's a sort half a thinline tele shape, with the controls part missing.

Any ideas?

Hybrid between mk1 Telecaster Thinline and regular solid body with the metal control plate.

Thick single-ply white with bevelled edge suggests Squier Affinity, Harley-Benton or similarly low budget brand.



Makers such as earlpilanz probably produce 'plates of that outline. Just be careful that the mounting holes are correctly positioned. 

If in doubt, order without the holes for the countersunk fastening screws. Use your existing pickguard as a template.

Merle Haggard Tele, or Cropped Tele Thinline.

It was a freebie included with a partscaster body. Weirdly, the makers don't sell the scratchplates separately.

I want to say it was for a "F" hole TC not a Thinline TC may be. I always considered a Thinline TC with an F hole to have the long scratch plate, whereas an F hole TC has the above scratch plate with a metal control plate.
