WTB: tele control plate with more space!
What's Hot
Hi, looking for a Telecaster control plate to help pickup switching! So either
a) custom spacing, such that there is a bit more space between the switch and the volume pot (more equidistant)
b) angled switch, again to achieve greater clearance between switch and pot.
ideally usual chrome
thank you!

It sounds flippant but I am serious!
If anyone has one lying around unused let me know before I pull the trigger on a new one. Thank you!
1) The original run of cable between the selector switch and the volume pot may not be long enough.
2) In any modern Telecaster with a step in the floor of the control cavity, the rearranged controls may foul on the step.
Changing the selector switch cap could improve matters. The tall “top hat” cap leaves the least clearance. The original Daka Ware cap leaves the most (and looks better!).
1. Extending wiring is easy and also fairly inexpensive. Also good idea to upgrade if pots/switch/wiring are worn or cheap crap.
2. Carefully chisel/drill/rout cavity if a step is present. Depends on how confident you are with tools.
Agree that changing switch tip might make more room. Maybe even a strat style one.
