Crafted
at Fender's 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.
Short of paying $800 or more for an '57 AVRI
maple neck this neck is the perfect alternate choice
at a fraction of the cost!
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.
String tree is not
included and its mounting hole will need to be
drilled. For true Fender
authenticity it has the "Fender Stratocaster"
and "Original Contour Body" logo decals and it's serialized. 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

with “pilot” string location grooves to make
spacing a breeze when performing the final
string slot filing. (Please note: Final string
slot filing and nut shaping modification is
required to ensure proper fit and
performance).
The
tuner mounting holes are pre-drilled
with a pilot hole sized for #3 mounting
screws. Do NOT use the smaller #2 sized
mounting screws that come supplied with
some tuners, you will strip the mounting
holes. #3 sized mounting screws
have a 0.10" outside diameter of the
threads, these are what you want.
#2 sized mounting screws have a 0.085"
outside diameter of the threads, these
are what you DO NOT want! If
you are unsure as to which size mounting
screws you have, measure them with a
dial or digital caliper across the
largest part of the threads.
