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.

Make your guitar playing experience truly authentic with the American Performer Telecaster Modern "C" Neck. This high-quality neck, crafted in the same esteemed facility as our U.S.-made instruments, is designed to enhance your playing style, regardless of genre.

The standout feature of this Telecaster neck is the comfortable "Modern C" profile. This design is favored by many guitarists for its ergonomic shape, promoting ease of play and reducing hand fatigue during long sessions. The neck is finished with a satin urethane, providing a smooth, fast playing feel that will have your fingers gliding effortlessly across the 22 jumbo frets.

Adding to the neck's vintage appeal is the large, '70s era headstock. This not only adds a touch of rustic charm but also contributes to the neck's mass and sustain, enhancing the overall sound quality of your guitar.

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 previously mounted to guitar bodies, nut slots will need to be cut by qualified personnel. Additional installation processes may be required, such as fret work and fitting the neck to the neck pocket, to ensure the perfect setup for your instrument.

Experience the natural, timeless appeal of the American Performer Telecaster Modern "C" Neck, and elevate your guitar playing to new heights.
