Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster Neck, 21 Vintage Tall Frets, 7.25'' Radius, Rosewood

In vintage years, the shape and thickness of Fender guitar necks varied tremendously. The American Vintage II Series features authentic neck profiles from Fender's past. Crafted at Fender's Corona, Calif. manufacturing facility, this genuine Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster guitar neck features a medium "C"-shaped profile and 7.25"-radius slab rosewood fingerboard with clay dots and 21 vintage-tall frets.

The 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 '60s feel. This replacement neck is for a Fender or Squier® by Fender guitars. 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 Long & McQuade can install genuine replacement necks.
