Nitrocellulose lacquer is a vintage-accurate finish that wears gradually over time, creating a pleasantly worn-in appearance with use. Our Road Worn® Nitro finish is hand-distressed to faithfully recreate the look and feel of a well-loved vintage instrument.

This genuine Fender Telecaster Deluxe neck is crafted at our Ensenada, Mexico manufacturing facility. Featuring a medium "C" neck profile and 9.5"-radius maple fingerboard with 21 medium jumbo frets, for the comfortable playing feel of a vintage instrument. Although this neck features a 3-bolt design typical of '70s Teles, only the bottom two neck mounting pilot holes are available, giving you the flexibility to use this neck with many different guitar bodies.

The synthetic bone nut is pre-slotted with "pilot" grooves for accurate spacing when filing the final string slots. The perfect way to give your Strat® authentic Fender feel, this replacement neck even sports the CBS era logo and a Bullet truss rod on the larger headstock.

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. Your local FMIC Authorized Service Center can install genuine replacement necks; find Authorized Service Center locations near you in the "Support" section of fender.com.
