American Vintage II 1973 Stratocaster Neck, 21 Vintage Tall Frets, 7.25" Radius, Rosewood

In vintage years, the shape and thickness of Fender guitar necks varied tremendously. The American Vintage II Series features authentic neck profiles from Fender’s past. Crafted at our Corona, Calif. manufacturing facility, this genuine Fender American Vintage II 1973 Stratocaster guitar neck features a ’73 "C"-shaped profile and 7.25"-radius round-laminated rosewood or maple fingerboard with 21 vintage-tall frets. The large ‘70’s headstock and 3 bolt neck design with Micro-Tilt™ mechanism add the finishing touches to this vintage-style neck. The bone nut is pre-slotted with "pilot" string location grooves to make spacing a breeze when performing the final string slot filing and a gloss polyurethane finish offers a vintage feel. This replacement neck is the perfect way to give your Strat® an authentically '70s feel. This replacement neck is for a Fender or Squier® by Fender guitar.

• AMERICAN VINTAGE II 1973 STRATOCASTER NECK: The American Vintage II Series features authentic neck profiles from Fender’s past. The large '70's headstock and 3 bolt neck design with Micro-Tilt mechanism add the finishing touches to this vintage-style neck
• MEDIUM “C” NECK PROFILE: C-shaped necks have a comfortable profile that works well for most playing styles. They are usually not as deep as most U- and V-shaped neck profiles.
• RADIUS AND FRETS: The 7.25”-radius round-laminated rosewood fingerboard provides the comfortable playing feel of a vintage instrument, while 21 vintage-tall frets make it easier to bend notes without fretting out.
• GLOSS POLYURETHANE FINISH: Polyurethane, as used from the late 60’s and 70’s on Fender instruments, looks great, ages well and is extremely durable.
• AUTHENTIC BONE NUT: The (1.650" width) bone nut is pre-slotted with "pilot" string location grooves to make spacing a breeze when performing the final string slot filing. A bone nut provides superior sustain and tone transfer.
