Crafted in the Ensenada, Mexico, manufacturing facility, this genuine Fender Player Series replacement guitar neck features a comfortable "modern C" profile and 9.5"-radius fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets. The nut is pre-slotted with "pilot" string location grooves to make spacing a breeze when performing the final string slot filing, and a satin finish on the back offers smooth playability. For true Fender authenticity, it's also serialized and stamped, with a genuine headstock decal. 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.
