Independent shopping perspective
For a Stratocaster project that calls for a vintage-style soft V profile, this genuine Fender replacement neck combines roasted maple with a 9.5-inch-radius maple fingerboard and 21 medium-jumbo frets. The roasted maple is described as resistant to humidity shifts and has a dark look. Pilot grooves in the synthetic bone nut establish string spacing, while the final slots, fitting, fretwork, and setup are work for qualified personnel.
