AMERICAN VINTAGE II 1957 STRATOCASTER NECK: The American Vintage II Series features authentic neck profiles from Fender's past
1957 “V” NECK PROFILE: A more rounded “soft” V often preferred by players more comfortable with their thumb hanging over the edge of the fingerboard

GLOSS LACQUER FINISH: Nitrocellulose lacquer, as used on ‘50s and ‘60's Fender instruments, is a premium finish that reveals the instrument's true tonal character
REAL BONE NUT: A bone nut improves a guitar's tone, tuning stability, and playability
Description
In vintage years, the shape and thickness of Fender guitar necks varied tremendously. The American Vintage II Series features authentic neck profiles from Fender's past. Crafted at our Corona, Calif. manufacturing facility, this genuine Fender American Vintage II 1957 Stratocaster 1-piece maple neck features a "V"-shaped profile and 7.25"-radius fingerboard with 21 vintage-tall frets. The bone nut is pre-slotted with "pilot" string location grooves to make spacing a breeze when performing the final string slot filing and a lacquer finish offers a vintage feel. This replacement neck is the perfect way to give your Strat an authentically '50s feel. This replacement neck is for a Fender or Squier by Fender guitar.
