    3 hole control plate

    Where does one get a 3 hole control plate like on the Brent Mason Valley Arts tele?

    Must be you take it to a machine shop or get out your drill.

    I thought about the drill, but I am sure I would muck up the placement. I see that the Parker "tele" uses the same plate, so I figure someone has to make them.

    Did you do a search?
    This comes up a couple of times a year.

    In fact it was discussed a few months ago. I think someone even had a pic.

    Another good place to ask is on the Telemodders forum.

    I tried a search, but the search kicks out the 3 since it is too short. A few months ago I was in Iraq, so I would not have seen the posts then. I will have to check out the other forum it seems

    Welcome home!
    The search can be frustrating that way.
    Hang in there, I'm sure someone with info you can use will reply.

    I came up against this same issue so I had some lasered out by a local shop for some tele's I've been modding. I did a few different control configurations while they had the laser fired up and they turned out perfectly. I also had some bigsby style bridge plates done for a tune-a-matic style bridge with the bass side bridge post moved back for better intonation. You may want to consider this route if you can't find what you are looking for.
