Crafted in Japan using the same meticulous techniques as high-end Fender models, this maple neck captures the spirit of classic Strats. Its gloss urethane finish provides classic feel and a slimmer 1-5/8" (41 mm) nut width makes for easy playability. It features 21 vintage frets and a comfortable 9.5" radius for hours of inspired performance. Whether you're restoring a vintage Fender or upgrading a Squier, this neck fits right in. Just be sure to have it professionally installed by a qualified luthier. With the Made in Japan Traditional II '50s Stratocaster replacement neck, you can revive your Strat's vintage vibe.

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

This Made in Japan neck is a direct replacement for Fender Stratocasters as well as Squier Strat models. It's pre-drilled for proper mounting and requires no modifications to your guitar. The 25.5" scale length maintains proper string tension. While installation is best left to a professional, you can easily give your Strat a makeover with this quality crafted neck. Transform the feel and tone of your instrument with the Made in Japan Traditional II '50s Stratocaster replacement neck.
