Fender Am Perf. Strat Neck RW

Got this one for my swamp ash stratocaster project. Very well made, there where no issues with frets or any other parts of the neck. The edges very nicely rounded - not as extreme as in some others, but very comfortable. Also the satin finish is very nice. I personally am very satisfied, no issues on mine. (But always check that the frets are fine etc.)

Be aware: The nut is not completely filed. Its normal with Fender replacement necks that the nut slots are very high, this is something so you can adapt it to your guitar! If you don't have nut files, I would consider getting some or using fine sandpaper wrapped around strings, to deepen the grooves.

Building my partcaster I wanted to go with genuine Fender Parts. Straight out of the box this neck checks out as perfect: A lovely grain and colour consitency to the Rose Wood finger board. Dead straight, a perfect back so the neck with an incredible smooth feel. The frets are wonderfully polished and no sharp ends. This was most definately worth the wait (as it was on back order). I feel en epic Strat coming on. Value for money very good. I know you can probably buy a whole guitar for the price of this neck (not a fender guitar of course), but this will make a guitar to compete with a high end factory model. All the holes pre-drilled, and as I say no (or perhaps very little - I'll see when it's strung up) fettling to do. I'd be very suprised if I have to touch the frets as they show perfectly level. The nut is pre-slotted /guide cut to allow filling the nut to accept your guage of strings; very littlework required with a setofnut files. The heel is perfectly machined and care has been taken to leave no burrs or high spots. Congratulations to Fender on blowing me away with this product.
