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!

Are you ready to elevate your guitar playing experience with a touch of iconic style and unmatched quality Look no further than the Fender Player Series Stratocaster Reverse Headstock Modern "C" Neck. This genuine Fender guitar neck, meticulously crafted at the esteemed Ensenada, Mexico manufacturing facility, is the epitome of sleek design and stylish functionality.

Featuring a "modern C" profile, this neck is engineered for comfort, allowing for effortless playability and smooth transitions along the 9.5"-radius maple fingerboard. The bright, clear tones emanate from the high-quality maple, ensuring that each note you play is articulated with precision. With 22 medium jumbo frets, you have the freedom to express yourself musically with ease, whether you're bending notes or executing intricate chords.

The reverse headstock not only adds a unique, modern twist to the classic Stratocaster design but also contributes to the guitar's overall tonal qualities. The pre-slotted nut with "pilot" string location grooves simplifies the process of string spacing, making setup quick and efficient for skilled technicians.

A smooth satin finish on the back of the neck ensures that your hand glides without resistance, enhancing playability during long sessions or performances. For the discerning musician who values authenticity, this neck is serialized and stamped, complete with the genuine "Original Contour Body" headstock decal, a hallmark of Fender's legacy.

This replacement neck is compatible with Fender or Squier by Fender guitars and is ideal for players looking to upgrade or personalize their instrument. While the neck has not been pre-mounted to any guitar bodies, it is designed for a seamless fit, although some additional adjustments by a qualified guitar technician may be necessary to achieve the perfect setup.

In choosing the Player Series Stratocaster Reverse Headstock Modern "C" Neck, you're not just getting a durable and high-quality guitar part; you're investing in a piece of Fender's storied history and a future of musical excellence.
