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.
This genuine Fender Stratocaster neck is crafted at our Ensenada, Mexico manufacturing facility. Featuring a modern C-shaped neck profile and 9.5″-radius maple fingerboard with 21 narrow-tall frets, this neck was designed for a classic feel. The synthetic bone nut is pre-slotted with “pilot” grooves for accurate spacing when filing the final string slots. The perfect way to give your Strat® authentic Fender feel, this replacement neck even sports our famous “spaghetti” logo on the headstock.

Great neck with a bit of work.
I bought this neck to replace a twisted one on a 90’s American Standard Stratocaster. As always the Solo team was great checking the fret work out for me before shipping it and getting it to me in a hurry. The neck its self is fantastic but it did need a bit of work out of the box. The woodwork was great with no odd carves or any irregularities. The fret work was far better than I expected and the edges were rolled nicely, the frets did need a final polishing bu that may have been due to transit, humidity change and etc. The nut was very disappointing. It was extremely high, the slots were off and the high e had guide slots in two places. Just buy the Graphtech nut with the radiused bottom if you buy this neck. The finish was also a bit disappointing. It is a satin finish, but seemed like it was almost powdery. I personally dislike satin finished necks and much prefer a slippery high gloss one, so after compounding, polishing and using swirl mark remover I had it like glass.
After the nut was changed and the finish correction the neck is fantastic, I actually prefer it to the American Professional necks I have on other Stratocasters. It’s a little lighter, slightly brighter and the roasted look is fantastic. I gave it 4 stars due to the nut and finish, but after the work it’s 5 stars.
