Fender'50s Esquire U-Shape Maple Neck With 21 Vintage Frets and 7.25" Radius Natural
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built as a genuine Fender replacement neck, this one-piece maple Esquire neck brings an early-'50s U profile, maple fingerboard, 7.25-inch radius, and 21 vintage-style frets to a Fender or Squier by Fender project. The satin finish on the playing side keeps the back of the neck smooth, while the gloss headstock face carries an Esquire decal. Its bone nut has pilot grooves only, so final slot work and the rest of the installation need proper attention.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing the neck on a Fender or Squier by Fender guitar with a substantial early-'50s U profile.
- A guitar project that calls for a maple fingerboard, 21 vintage-style frets, and 7.25-inch radius.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Unassisted installation: the bone nut needs final slot cutting by qualified personnel, and fitting, fret work, or setup may also be needed.
