Capture the Feel of the’50s Fender’s’50s Esquire neck is a top-tier replacement neck that’s all but guaranteed to outfit your axe with the style, looks, and feel of the vintage era! A period-correct 1-piece maple construction serves as the foundation, complete with a smooth gloss finish and authentic “Esquire” logo on the headstock. Moreover, Sweetwater’s vintage fanatics applaud this neck’s period-accurate vintage frets and 7.25-inch radius – a much rounder design than modern radii that’s ideal for chording and rhythm work. Finally, it wouldn’t be a’50s-style Esquire neck without a substantial profile; the “U” shape is the profile of choice for players who prefer a chunky neck that fully fills out the palm of your hand. Note: Every neck and guitar is different, and a final setup, including filing the nut slots and a final fret leveling, may be required after installation on your guitar.

While skinnier necks are now the norm, Fender’s earliest era is famous for its chunky baseball-bat-style necks, especially on instruments in the Telecaster family. This neck’s “U” profile is by no means the fattest found on a vintage Fender, but it does offer a hefty profile for your hand to grasp onto – it’s sure to please players with larger hands or those who employ thumb-over-neck chord shapes. Vintage-correct frets and fingerboard radius. Fender’s original 7.25-inch radius and somewhat small vintage-style frets are a favorite of rhythm players everywhere, with a larger curve that conforms to your hand’s natural bend. Up and down the neck, complex chords can be played effortlessly. While some players prefer a slightly flatter radius for lead work, here at Sweetwater we like to remind ourselves that every famous Fender-playing guitarist from the vintage era – from Jimi Hendrix to Jimmy Page – made their mark on a 7.25-inch radius!
