Description
The story of Fender’s modular design began in 1946, and guitarists have been writing their own chapters ever since. Our pioneering bolt-on neck construction wasn’t just about making guitars easier to service—it was about giving players the power to shape their sound. Today, every genuine Fender replacement neck carries that legacy forward, offering endless possibilities for customisation, restoration, and reinvention.
Crafted in the same facility as our U.S.-made instruments, the American Professional Classic Stratocaster® neck works well with almost any playing style. Features include our comfortable “Modern C” neck profile with a satin urethane finish that give it a smooth, fast playing feel. The 9.5”-radius fingerboard with medium jumbo frets provides fast fretting and easy playability, while the hand-rolled fingerboard edges provide a slightly broken-in feel.
The synthetic bone nut is pre-slotted with “pilot” string location grooves to make spacing a breeze when performing the final string slot filing. For true Fender authenticity, it’s also serialised and laser engraved with our “Genuine Fender Parts” logo on the heel.
This replacement neck is for a Fender or Squier by Fender guitar.
