Crafted in the Ensenada, Mexico, manufacturing facility, this genuine Fender Player Series replacement guitar neck features a comfortable "modern C" profile and 9.5"-radius fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets. The nut is pre-slotted with "pilot" string location grooves to make spacing a breeze when performing the final string slot filing, and a satin finish on the back offers smooth playability. For true Fender authenticity, it's also serialized and stamped, with a genuine headstock decal. This replacement neck is for a Fender or Squier� by Fender guitar. 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.

The neck itself is beautiful, fits perfectly, and feels very nice.The frets all need work. If you're not comfortable leveling and dressing (or cutting the nut) this is probably not going to be what you're after.

The neck looks and feels premium and well built. However, no matter what I try the Fret buzz on low string remains. So far I had to remove the neck level and crown the fret three times and the buzz does not go away. I tried shimming on both angles and no use. Even with the action of 6/64th or more high e string is buzzing. Changing bend also does not help. I even changed the nut and buzz does not go away.For the price I didn’t expect so much trouble. Now I’m am thinking to remove frets sand down the neck and refret. I could have bought a whole squire guitar at this price and get a less trouble from the neck.All the time wasted so far 😠

A far better neck than those off brand import necks, the nut material is harder than bone so it’s more durable. I had to ream the tuner holes a little bit so the tuning machines would fit, very minor issue due to the finish getting in the holes.

Ok so yeah I put it on a Squier Affinity body...yes it cost the same as the whole guitar but...sshhh.If your body is a genuine Fender it's plug and play... Pretty much.It's a great neck, with lush frets and it feels great and plays much better. No fret sprouting whatsoever.There is a "but"... You'll need to do a little work.Firstly...yes you can do this and yes it fits a Squier even with the extra fret.Nut:You'll need cut the nut slots to the right depth and file the whole thing down. It arrives with guide grooves but check these as you might need to bring the outer slots in a touch, depending on your saddle widths. You'll need nut files for this.Fret work: Found I needed to polish down the upper frets to get the lower strings to stop bottoming out above fret 14...in retrospect this may be the cheap body not being angled correctly in the neck socket as the upper strings didn't have this issue.Pocket work:Lowered the neck pocket by hand with sending block and spirit level. The neck sits about 1.5 to 2mm too high.Neck angle:0.25° reverse shimmed the neck to alleviate lower frets buzzing... Or spend more time precisely setting your neck socket depth/angle LOL.Then set it up and do the necessary Truss rod and intonation.Plays great now.But don't do any of the above unless you know (roughly) what you're doing. There are plenty of YouTube tutorials on most of these things.Also if you have a router, the neck pocket lowering is gonna be much easier!Sounds like a faff but if you're looking to learn more about necks and fret work, makes a lovely project!I found the value in this experience!Alternatively go to a qualified guitar tech... But learn nothing along the way.Neither way it's a gorgeous neck... But know your limits on installation and take every step carefully and with slow consideration.My cheap Squier sounds all the better for it... And I'm now a lot better equipped to do a similar job on my Fender OG Stray.

I checked online and suspected that the Fender neck might not fit a Squier body. Depends, mine needed work that, even though I have the tools to do, it was smart to bring it to a luthier. For $100 it’s on straight and the guitar is intonated
