There’s no denying the allure of a roasted maple neck. Resistant to humidity shifts and featuring a gorgeous, dark look, they have more sustain and add a unique note to the instrument’s voice.Crafted in the same facility as our U.S.-made instruments, the American Professional II Telecaster Neck draws from more than sixty years of innovation, inspiration and evolution to meet the demands of today’s working player. Our popular Deep “C” neck now sports smooth rolled fingerboard edges and a “Super-Natural” satin finish that provides a supremely comfortable feel. Other features include a 9.5″-radius maple fingerboard, bone nut and 22 narrow-tall frets for easy bending.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. Your local FMIC Authorized Service Center can install genuine replacement necks; find Authorized Service Center locations near you in the “Support” section of fender.com.
