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!

By Neil M.

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.

Over the years, the American Performer Stratocaster Modern "C" Neck, with its Maple Fingerboard and 22 Jumbo Frets, has become a staple for musicians worldwide. This high-quality replacement neck, crafted in the same esteemed facility as our U.S.-made instruments, is designed to enhance your playing experience, regardless of your style.

The neck features our signature "Modern C" profile, a design that offers a comfortable grip for any player. Coated with a satin urethane finish, the neck provides a smooth, fast playing feel, allowing you to glide effortlessly across the fretboard.

The American Performer Stratocaster Neck also boasts a large '70s era headstock. This not only adds a touch of vintage charm but also contributes to the mass and sustain of your guitar, enhancing the overall sound quality.

The 22 jumbo frets are another noteworthy feature. These larger frets make it easier to achieve wide, expressive bends, adding more depth and versatility to your music.

This replacement neck is compatible with both Fender and Squier by Fender guitars, making it a versatile addition to your instrument. Please note that as Fender genuine replacement necks have not been pre-mounted to guitar bodies, nut slots will need to be cut by qualified personnel. Additional installation processes may also be required, such as fret work, fitting the neck to the neck pocket, and other instrument setup procedures.

In conclusion, the American Performer Stratocaster Modern "C" Neck, Maple Fingerboard, 22 Jumbo Frets is a high-quality, versatile replacement neck that can enhance your guitar's performance and sound.
