Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Built as a right-handed replacement neck for a Fender or Squier by Fender guitar, this American Professional II Stratocaster neck combines maple construction, a maple fingerboard, 22 narrow-tall frets, and a 9.5-inch radius. The Deep C profile, rolled fingerboard edges, and satin-finished back are intended for a smooth, fast-playing feel. Installation is a proper guitar-work job: the four offset pilot holes may require a fifth hole on a standard body, and nut work plus additional fitting or setup can be required.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • A qualified replacement-neck installation on a right-handed Fender or Squier by Fender guitar.
  • Players seeking a maple Stratocaster neck with 22 narrow-tall frets and a 9.5-inch radius.
  • A guitar project where neck-pocket fitting, fretwork, and setup work are already planned.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Direct installation on a standard body without drilling a fifth pilot hole.
  • A no-work neck swap where nut-slot cutting and possible setup procedures are not available.
