Removing the scratch plate from a stratocaster style guitar

[Le5Pau1]

You sound kinda like a manly salad fingers..

[LisaParamore]

can i just cut the wires close to the ends or do i have to "un-solder" them?

[DIGITALH1TMAN]

Do u have to remove the strings :L

[Ultradudeo1]

is there no simple way to remove the scratch plate, im 14 and have no chance of putting it back together, i would like to know if it is possible to just unscrew the scratch plate and slide it out, or alternatively a easier way to remove it.

Damm, I think Strats suckass. Les Pauls own.

0:09 That tool you used, is that what people use to make words and dezines in wood? And how would i reattach the wire?

[SmokeymehhPott]

@stringbeanX its a souldering Iron, and to reattach it you would use souldering wire.:)

if i was to remove the scratchplate on a jazz bass guitar would i need to mess around with the eletrics and would it cause damage to my bass?

P.s Nice video

[GeetarGuy101]

Do you know any webs that you can buy scratchplates?

Nice vid by the way

Type Allparts into google or wdmusic. Both supply scratch plates in the UK. I've used both companies with no problems.
