Description
Swapping necks is one of the fastest ways to change how a Stratocaster feels in your hands, and this one goes straight back to the source. Built at Fender’s Corona, California facility, it reproduces the thick “C”-shaped profile that defined ’60s-era Strats — substantial without tipping into baseball-bat territory, and a real departure from the slimmer modern C shapes most players are used to.
- Thick “C”-shaped neck profile, true to ’60s specs
- 9.5″-radius round-laminate rosewood fingerboard
- 21 vintage-tall frets for easier bends and vibrato control
- Gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish that ages and checks like a vintage original
The 9.5″ radius sits between the flatter vintage 7.25″ and the faster modern 12″, giving you a fingerboard that still feels period-correct under an open chord but doesn’t fret out when you’re bending up at the 15th. Vintage-tall frets add height without extra width, so string bends stay smooth and low action stays playable. The rosewood board itself brings the warmer, slightly compressed top end rosewood is known for, while the nitrocellulose lacquer finish lets the wood breathe and will wear, yellow, and check honestly over years of playing — exactly like the necks it’s modeled on.
Whether you’re restoring a project Strat, building a parts guitar, or just chasing a specific ’60s feel your current neck doesn’t deliver, this is a straightforward, factory-correct swap.
