Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The American Professional II Stratocaster neck is a right-handed replacement option for a Fender or Squier by Fender guitar. It combines a maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, 22 narrow-tall frets, and a 9.5-inch radius with a Deep C profile. Rolled fingerboard edges and the satin urethane back finish are intended for a comfortable, fast-playing feel; the headstock face is gloss urethane. Its four offset neck-pocket pilot holes require a fifth hole when mounting it to a standard body, alongside qualified nut cutting and setup work.
