Fender American Vintage II 1963 Telecaster Neck, 21 Vintage Tall Frets, 7.25" Radius, Rosewood
Manufacturer's 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 1963 Telecaster guitar neck features a "C"-shaped profile and 7.25"-radius round-laminated rosewood fingerboard with clay dots (narrow-spaced at the 12th fret) and 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 Tele® an authentically '60s feel.
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. Your local FMIC Authorized Service Center can install genuine replacement necks; find Authorized Service Center locations near you in the "Support" section of fender.com.
