When the Fender Mod Shop was created to allow users to design the guitar of their dreams through their computer, tablet or smartphone, there were 70,000 possible combinations from which to choose.
Now, add a few more, as the Mod Shop has added a new "C-to-D" neck profile option for Stratocasters and Telecasters in addition to the already existing American Standard modern "C" shape.
The new neck starts with a modern "C" shape at the neck and morphs into a modern "D" shape as you get towards the heel.
"The idea behind this compound neck profile is to meld the super comfortable back shape of the American Elite Series with the player-preferred 9.5" radius fingerboard from the American Professional Series for an all-new feel that is exclusive to Mod Shop customers," said Fender Vice President of Product Development Joey Brasler.
In addition to the easy playability of the "C-to-D" profile and 9.5" fingerboard radius, the new Mod Shop neck also features a truss rod adjustment at the top of the neck, as found in the American Standard Series and American Professional Series.
In offering another neck in the Mod Shop, Brasler noted that many customers asked for the 9.5" fingerboard radius when designing guitars with the Fender Custom Shop, not the vintage 7.25" radius.
"A lot of people are choosing a guitar that is all vintage, except for the neck," he said. "It's a great radius for comfort and playability, and it's just something special for everyone who wants to spec their own guitars with the Mod Shop."
