Tremolo Cover Back Plate for Yamaha Electric Guitar - Vintage Mint

In this review the Tremolo Cover Back Plate for Yamaha Electric Guitar is evaluated for players who need a precise, cosmetically pleasing replacement cover. The reviewer found it best for Yamaha-style tremolo routed guitars and for anyone restoring an instrument where original fit and vintage appearance matter. The single biggest reason to buy is its accurate 6-screw Yamaha style layout and authentic 3-ply mint green finish, which makes it a near drop-in visual and functional replacement while keeping the tremolo cavity shielded.

Key Features

• 6 mounting screw holes: Matches Yamaha style tremolo spacing for a secure, direct replacement that aligns with existing screw holes on compatible bodies.
• 3 ply construction: The Mint Green / Black / Mint Green layered construction provides a vintage look and slightly more rigidity than a single-layer plate.
• Fits Yamaha electric guitars: Designed to suit Yamaha models with similar back cavity dimensions, reducing the need for modification.
• Brand new with protective film: Ships with a protective film on top to prevent scratches during handling and installation.
• Visual restoration: Restores the rear appearance of a guitar with a vintage mint aesthetic without repainting or body work.

Who It's For

This Tremolo Cover is ideal for musicians restoring a Yamaha-style electric guitar or hobbyists replacing a damaged back plate who want a period-correct mint green appearance. Luthiers and repair shops will appreciate the standard Yamaha screw layout that helps avoid drilling new holes.

It is not the right choice for guitars with non-Yamaha tremolo routing, nonstandard screw spacing, or owners who need a custom-sized plate; those users should measure their cavity and seek a different style or a custom plate.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Accurate 6-screw Yamaha style layout makes installation straightforward on compatible guitars.
• 3 ply Mint Green/Black/Mint Green construction gives authentic vintage visual appeal and better rigidity than single-layer plates.
• Brand new condition with protective film helps ensure a scratch-free surface on arrival.

Cons

• May not fit guitars with nonstandard cavity dimensions, so measurements are required before purchase.
• Only available in the specified mint green 3-ply finish, limiting color options for other restorations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my non-Yamaha guitar?
If your guitar uses a Yamaha-style 6-screw tremolo routing it may fit, but you should compare the plate measurements in the last photo with your cavity before purchasing.

Is the finish durable?
The 3 ply construction and protective film on top help preserve the finish in transit, but standard care is recommended to avoid scratches.

Are screws included?
The listing describes the cover only; confirm screw inclusion separately as the product is sold as the back plate with protective film.
