Your cart is empty.Early '70s-spec Roasted Maple Strat Neck The Fender Roasted Maple Vintera Mod '70s Stratocaster Neck may just be the upgrade your Strat is clamoring for. Roasted until it reaches optimal dryness and beauty, this maple neck is more resistant to humidity shifts and temperature changes than non-roasted necks. The Early 1970s "C" profile fills the hand like a true classic. And with its 9.5" fretboard radius, 21 medium-jumbo frets, and CBS logo, the Fender Roasted Maple Vintera Mod '70s Stratocaster Neck has something for all eras of Fender fans. Best of all, 3- and 4-bolt compatibility suits this neck to a wide range of modern and historic Strats. If you're not sure whether this neck is right for your specific guitar, call your GearNuts Sales Engineer at (800) 222-4700 and we'll be happy to advise. Note: Every neck and guitar is different, and a final setup, including filing the nut

Me gusta el tacto de este mástil y el tono de la madera torrefactada ,está hecho de una pieza de arce duro canadiense y tiene el corte de la veta en Riffsawn el trasteado está impecable aunque el tipo de traste no es de mi gusto,a mi me gusta el dunlop 6000 pero el trabajo del trasteado ya digo que está impecable,el barnizado sobre el diapasón es más grueso y por detrás muy fino y muy bien pulido tiene un tacto muy suave y resbaladizo,el perfil del grosor para mi gusto es muy bueno ,no es muy grueso ni muy delgado y el big headstock es sencillamente precioso 😍 me encanta,merece la pena gastar el dinero estrellas 🌟⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The fist neck I received was less than stellar when it came to the sanding on the back of the neck (original review on that below). However, I wanted to update my review as I ended up ordering another neck to give it a second shot.Needless to say Amazon was great about taking back the first neck without hassle. A couple weeks later I decided to give it another shot, as I really wanted to replace my current Fender neck with another Fender branded neck. The neck I received the second time was fantastic. The sanding on the back and everywhere else I had issues with originally proved to be perfectly done on this neck.Just like the first one the fretwork looks great (no fret sprout and they seemed to be leveled a little already, but I'm no fretwork expert when it comes to leveling and finishing). Coloring on the neck from roasting is also perfect and closely matched the fist one. Not too light and not too dark, so it doesn't look like they under or over roasted it. Gloss finish on the headstock and fingerboard are also great.I installed the neck, and even though I haven't gotten around to a doing a setup or finish off filling and finishing the nut, it actually plays pretty good with just being bolted on. Although I like my action on the higher side, so that might play into it feeling pretty close to where I want it straight out of the gate. Regardless, I'm more than pleased with how it fit straight out of the box and looking forward to getting it perfect with a setup in the next week or so.ORIGINAL REVIEW: I'm not sure if mine was the exception, but this neck was not of good quality when it came to the sanding of the neck. There were machine marks on the side of the headstock where it rounds off, and dips in the wood to accompany it. The back of the itself neck also had dips in the wood in numerous areas, as if it was pushed against a sanding drum too hard in certain spots. This resulted in the back of the neck not being uniformly smooth and even through out. I've never actually seen a neck with dips in the wood like this, regardless of the price point, so I was really surprised it left the factory in this condition. It was so surprising, i was suspicious that this was a real Fender neck.I wasn't sure if I was being picky or if that's the way they come, so I talked to a local Fender Authorized repair person (who was going to install the neck and has 20 years of experience in the professional repair business) and he said this was not normal to receive a neck from Fender that was so poorly done.On the bright side, the fretwork looked great right out of the box. If it wasn't for the sloppy sanding that resulted in those low spots on the back of the neck and in that one area of the headstock, I would have kept the neck.

Neck needs a little bit of feet work but plays well straight out of the box. And it’s amazingly beautiful. I bought this one open box saving over a hundred dollars. Used the nut off my original neck since it had the same radius. Worked beautifully

Installed this into a 90's MIJ 70's style strat that had a rosewood fingerboard neck. Definite improvements in overall snappiness, note clarity and sustain. An additional hole needed to be drilled into the body to accomodate the new neck. This neck requires a micro-tilt bolt for installation that is not included with the neck, so if your strat has no microtilt bolt (mine did not), make sure to purchase one as well.Awesome satin finish on the neck, feels great. Very happy with the upgrade.

È passato un anno dal mio acquisto e sono pienamente soddisfatto.Al momento dell'acquisto non avevo visto che era Rosted e quando ho aperto la scatola , sul momento sono rimasto deluso.Altra momentanea delusione è stata la finitura , lucida e spessa sul frontale della paletta e della tastiera , sottile e satina sul retro del manico.In entrambi i casi la delusione è sparita dopo aver montato il manico e dopo aver suonato poche note .Scorrevole e piacevolissimo al tatto, tasti posati perfettamente e in oltre il colore miele si sposa perfettamente con il sunburst del body.In conclusione ottimo prodotto.

安くて古いフェンダージャパンストラトに装着しました。フェンジャパのネックポケットが広めなのか？ハメると横スペースが結構空きましたが想定内。シムを入れて動かない程度に調整してから装着。するとどうでしょう！安ストラトとは思えない鳴りが生まれました。とても良い音です。ローストされていて固いネックなので高音が強くですぎるかなと思ってましたが、ローからハイまでバランスよく鳴るようになりました。あと手に響く弦振動がたまりません。ギターとの一体感を感じさせます。ナットがしょぼそうだったのですぐに牛骨に交換しましたので星4とさせていただきました。安いギターでも素敵な音になる良い商品です。

The fingerboard had so much gloss on it, that it began to ripple up near the frets. Sent it back immediately.

If you like bigger necks with shoulders, this one is for you. Another reviewer said it’s more of a U shape. I replaced a Modern C shaped neck and couldn’t be happier.

Smooth, nice shape. I like the medium jumbos.
