Textured black neck plate?

[Mincer]

I am looking for a black textured powder-coated neck plate like in the picture. The picture is mine, and for the life of me, I can't figure out where I got it. Anyone have any ideas? I guess I should have bought 2.

On another note...why does Warmoth not sell their own branded neck plates? A turtle or W would be pretty cool, too.

There's a forumite that will make ine for you.

Got this at the Lazrart store. Not black, but they do have other options.

^I did see those, but the design isn't quite right for me, and the turtle is wrong. And I didn't know how to feel about giving money to someone using someone else's IP.

Well it's done except for set up so I suppose this would be the month to throw it in the ring. If I can get better pics of it before the deadline I'll throw them on, otherwise these will have to do.

My first build, swamp ash/quilted maple. Dyed black top. Goncalo Alves neck/Pau Ferro fingerboard. Nickle plated hardware.  Fender CS Fat 50's, Callaham bridge, Sperzel tuners. And of course it's rocking the turtle on the DangerousR6 neck plate!

Just do search for turtle neck plates here and you'll find, what you need, maybe not what you want

After some more searching, I did find this place, but out of stock.

I have long wondered the same thing! I just want a simple plate with an engraved "W" and maybe "Made in U.S.A." or similar below it. Classy and simple.

DangerousR6 is one of the forum members if it wasn't made clear, I won't say how good the price was but I am more than satisfied.

Is he authorized to reproduce their logo on something that he sells?

That is fascinating, isn't it? Makes their product like look like officially licensed items from Fender, Jackson, Ibanez..... so weird.....

And no disclaimer on their site to talk about those licensing agreements. SO weird.

Authorized? It depends on what you do with the neck plate.

I suppose if one wants a trademark logo they would need to contact the owner of the logo, I didn't trademark mine if you want to copy mine , cat hair guitars, I have 16 cats and do my own finishes .

Well, it isn't so much what the end user does with it...the issue is on the seller's side- if they are charging or reproducing a logo or brand identity that they don't have the rights to reproduce and charge for.
