Schaller Jack Plate Chrome — Precision Output Jack Cover for Electric Guitars and Basses

The Schaller Jack Plate Chrome (model 15190200) is a factory-grade replacement cover for the 1/4" output jack on solid-body and semi-hollow electric guitars and basses. Designed and manufactured in Germany by Schaller, this chrome-plated plate measures 35.0 x 35.4 mm with rounded corners, giving it a clean, low-profile appearance once mounted on the instrument's edge. Built for players, luthiers, and techs who need a reliable, drop-in jack cover that matches the original hardware specification of most production instruments. It serves both as a functional replacement for stripped or missing plates and as a cosmetic upgrade for custom builds.

What Makes the Schaller Jack Plate Chrome Stand Out

Unlike generic stamped covers, this jack plate is engineered to Schaller's exacting tolerances, with a 10.0 mm inner diameter precisely sized for standard 1/4" mono and stereo output jacks. A 2 mm material thickness combined with a 3.3 mm curved side profile gives the plate enough rigidity to resist flexing when the cable is pulled, while the rounded corners prevent the edges from catching on clothing or gig bags. The chrome finish is part of a five-color family — Nickel, Chrome, Black, Gold, and Ruthenium — letting builders match the plate to existing tuners, bridges, and strap buttons.

Dimensions and Mounting Geometry

Correct plate geometry is critical for a flush, gap-free fit against the body edge. The Schaller Jack Plate Chrome is sized to match the original Fender-style and similar import-spec jack plate routs used on most electric guitars and basses.

• Outer Size: 35.0 x 35.4 mm — with rounded corners for a clean, snag-free edge
• Inner Diameter (Jack Cutout): 10.0 mm — accepts standard 1/4" mono and stereo output jacks
• Mounting Screw Holes: 4 holes, 3.10 mm diameter — drop-in fit for original equipment screws

Material Construction and Durability

The plate's material specification determines how it holds up to repeated cable insertions, strap pressure, and the wear of daily gigging. Schaller builds this plate from a chrome-plated metal alloy with a controlled thickness profile.

• Material Thickness: 2 mm — rigid enough to resist flex when the cable is tugged
• Curved Side Height: 3.3 mm — follows the contour of the body edge for a flush mount
• Weight: 24 g — negligible addition to the instrument's overall mass

What's in the Box

Schaller ships the jack plate as a complete mounting kit, so no additional hardware sourcing is required for installation.

• Included: 1 x Jackplate — the chrome-plated cover itself
• Included: 4 x mounting screws — pre-sized to the 3.10 mm holes for direct installation
