Fender Backplate, Stratocaster®, Brown Tortoise Shell, 4-Ply

The Fender Stratocaster Backplate in Brown Tortoise Shell (4‑Ply) adds a touch of classic Fender elegance to any Strat‑style guitar. With its rich, vintage‑inspired tortoise pattern and multi‑layer construction, this backplate instantly elevates the look of your instrument while maintaining the authentic Strat aesthetic. Whether you’re customizing a new build or refreshing a well‑loved guitar, it delivers a premium visual upgrade that stands out without overpowering the instrument’s design.

Crafted to Fender’s exact specifications, this backplate features the traditional six‑hole string‑access layout and precise screw spacing for a perfect fit on most Fender and Squier Stratocaster models. The 4‑ply construction adds durability and a more dimensional, upscale appearance compared to standard single‑ply plates. Lightweight and rigid, it protects your tremolo cavity from dust and debris while keeping your guitar looking clean and stage‑ready.

Ideal for restorations, upgrades, or custom builds, the Brown Tortoise Shell backplate is a simple but striking way to personalize your Strat. It’s a genuine Fender part—built to fit right, look right, and last.
