Bluemoon Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Which LPs come with metal jack plates--is it just the Traditional? And have metal jack plates been used in older models. I am just curious. I replaced my cracked plastic jack plate in my standard with a nickel plate...and that got me wondering how historically correct those plates are.

NeoConMan Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 '86 Standard, '93 Standard, 2000 Classic Plus, 2006 Deluxe Goldtop. None of them came with a metal plate, they all got one after I bought 'em. The plastic plate is not very durable, I say change it anyway. It's easy to do.

Bluemoon Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 I changed it the other day. Looks great. Just curious if the nickel plate was new with the Traditional or has always been in the Gibson lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil325 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 mine came with the plastic plate and it's terrible. looking for a metal plate as soon as i get the chance to go to a store. they're pretty flimsy which is kind of annoying when you expect something decent from a gibson brand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I'm with Blue, I dunno what models they actually came on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobv Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Traditional has a metal jackplate, helps to spot them on the wall in the store. Hardware on those puppies is chrome, so I'd suppose the plate matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
