Crafted in the same facility as our U.S.-made instruments, the American Performer 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. A large, ‘70’s era headstock adds mass and sustain and 22 jumbo frets make it easier to achieve wide, expressive bends. 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.
