We are an authorized fender dealer. Crafted at our Ensenada, Mexico manufacturing facility, this genuine vintage-style Fender Stratocaster” guitar neck features a comfortable “Soft V” profile and 7.25″-radius maple fingerboard with 21 vintage-style frets. The synthetic bone nut is pre-slotted with “pilot” string location grooves to make spacing a breeze when performing the final string slot filing, and a lacquer finish offers a vintage feel. This replacement neck is the perfect way to give your Strat an authentically’50s feel. This replacement neck is for a Fender or Squier® by Fender guitar. Because Fender genuine replacement necks have not been mounted to guitar bodies, nut slots must be cut by qualified personnel. Other installation processes may be required, such as fret work, fitting the neck to the neck pocket, and other instrument setup procedures. Your local FMIC Authorized Service Center can install genuine replacement necks. Maple fingerboard with 7.25 radius. “Soft V” neck profile. Pre-slotted synthetic bone nut. Vintage-style truss rod adjustment.
