Fits older American Standard perfectly

Bought this to bolt onto my old Fender American Standard Stratocaster body. Perfect fit, like it was made for the body. Nice dark rosewood, perfect fretwork. And, the nut slots are nearly totally finished! Requires maybe just a tiny bit of slot finishing, at most. Highly recommended, I like this better than the American Professional neck.

No fuss neck

I have tried many Lic. by fender necks for allot less and have been disappointed with them all, especially the Mighty mite neck...and I always come back to this neck...it requires very little work and the holes are pre-drilled so if it just won't fit in the neck pocket (or what ever the reason) and you want to return it, you can. I gave this four stars because it's not a nice thick V like on the re-issue or 50's pro strats... but, this neck comes as close to a soft V as you are going to get with a 9.5 radius and most others claiming the same are not even close. Save your dough and spring for this neck for all your builds or replacements. You won't be sorry you did. ...I would however like to see a soft V neck with a rosewood fret board and 9.5 or 10 radius. Anyway, good job on this neck Fender!

Bring a touch of vintage elegance to your Stratocaster guitar with this authentic 3-bolt mount vintage "U" shape maple neck. Expertly crafted at our renowned Ensenada, Mexico manufacturing facility, this neck is designed to perfectly fit the classic series '70s Stratocaster guitar.

The stylish "U"-shaped profile is not only comfortable to hold but also enhances the overall playability of your guitar. The 7.25"-radius maple fingerboard is adorned with 21 vintage-style frets, offering a seamless blend of classic aesthetics and modern functionality.

This durable guitar neck features the iconic 3-bolt design that was a hallmark of '70s Strats. However, it offers the added advantage of having only the bottom two neck mounting pilot holes available. This unique feature provides you with the flexibility to use this neck with a wide variety of guitar bodies.

The neck comes with a pre-slotted synthetic bone nut, complete with "pilot" string location grooves. This thoughtful design element simplifies the process of spacing when performing the final string slot filing.

To ensure a smooth and enjoyable playing experience, the back of the neck is coated with a glossy urethane finish. This not only enhances the neck's durability but also adds a touch of sophistication to your guitar.

Incorporate this reliable and stylish 3-bolt mount vintage "U" shape maple neck into your classic series '70s Stratocaster guitar, and experience the perfect blend of vintage charm and modern functionality.
