Classic Styling and Feel of Vintage Fender Necks
This replacement neck authentically recreates the feel of vintage Fender instruments. Its "soft U" carve fits naturally in your hand while the smooth gloss urethane finish facilitates fluid playing across the maple fingerboard. The 21 medium vintage frets are expertly dressed for comfort. With its distinctive skunk stripe and classic black dot inlays, this neck looks and feels like it came straight out of 1950s California. Whether you're restoring a vintage Fender or just want that old-school vibe, this neck delivers the iconic styling and playability of the classics.
Crafted in Japan for Sophisticated Workmanship
Built in the same Japanese facility as Fender's prestigious Made in Japan series, this replacement neck benefits from sophisticated techniques perfected by master craftspeople. The neck is carved, finished and fretted to exacting standards for incredible tone and playability. Japanese luthiers blend traditional methods with modern technology, creating necks renowned for their quality. Every component is carefully chosen, from the bone nut to the period-correct truss rod. The result is a beautifully crafted neck worthy of being on a high-end Fender.
Maple Neck and Fingerboard for Bright, Balanced Tone
The neck is made of quality maple, giving this Stratocaster replacement neck a tight, focused tone. The maple fingerboard adds clarity and definition to each note. Together they produce a balanced sound with clear highs, pronounced midrange and tight low end. Whether you're playing chiming chords or screaming leads, the maple neck and fingerboard deliver the quintessential Fender snap and sparkle that cuts through the mix. The gloss finish enhances sustain, letting your notes ring out.
21 Frets and 9.5" Radius for Comfortable Playability
With 21 medium-jumbo frets, this neck offers ample room for soloing beyond the 15th fret. The vintage-style frets are expertly finished for smooth bends and comfortable chording all over the neck. The flatter 9.5" fingerboard radius feels familiar to most guitarists, facilitating intricate chords and fast runs. You'll find this neck begs to be played, with ergonomics that make long practice sessions a pleasure. The vintage-spec components come together to provide exceptional playability.
Drop-in Compatible With Fender and Squier Guitars
