Fender American Channel Bound Stratocaster Neck Rosewood Fretboard

Crafted in the same facility as our U.S.-made instruments, the Channel-Bound Stratocaster Neck combines a uniquely elegant aesthetic with a distinctively smooth fret-hand feel. The channel-bound fingerboard is a unique Fender innovation whereby the fingerboard is directly inlaid into the neck, eliminating the side seams while combining slick style with astounding fret-hand feel. The 9.5-14 compound-radius rosewood fingerboard is more rounded towards the nut for easy chording, while the flatter radius in the upper register allows wide bends without fretting out. The comfortably rounded fingerboard edges and Modern C-shaped profile are ideal for any playing style.

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.
