Callaham's control plate for Teles and Esquires features traditional looks but is made from 416 stainless steel and aged to this distressed finish.

This aging process is carried out buy us at Charles Guitars and is not the distressed finish from Callaham Guitars.

The Volume control is moved 3/8" away from the switch which improves access and correct a longstanding problem where the tip is too close to the volume knob.

We say: Most other Tele control plates are stamped and roughly polished so that the holes are "dragged" out of shape and then plated, the underside being left un touched and so not flat. This Callaham plate like the neck plate is machined on the underside so that it is completely flat and "carefully" polished as you can see from the picture. A real quality item.
