Screwholes for attaching to the body are not drilled. Each neck has a truss rod with a 4mm adjusting nut at the peghead. We recommend Allen Truss Rod Wrench for adjusting neck relief.

Peghead is drilled for 6-in-line tuning machines. 11mm-diameter holes fit sealed gear tuners with threaded peghead bushing. See all tuners.

Specifications
Scale length 25-1/2" (647.70mm)
Width at nut 1-11/16" (42.86mm)
Width at 22nd fret 2-3/16" (55.56mm)
Fretwire .045" high x .095" wide (1.14mm x 2.41mm)
Approximate heel length 3-5/8" (92.07mm)
Fretboard radius 9-1/2" (241.30mm)

Compound radius necks
The fingerboard surface radius gradually changes from 9.5" at the nut, to 12" at the 22nd fret (241mm to 305mm), for lower action and cleaner string bending. 14.75" (375mm) bridge saddle radius is recommended.

Neck thickness (approximate; not including fret)


Ideally, the neck should just drop into the neck-pocket, or be a little snug. Don't force the neck into the pocket. If the body is unfinished, remember that the finish will make the neck pocket smaller with lacquer build up on the edge of the rout. Be sure to compensate for the finish buildup or the neck will be too tight after finishing.

je suis totalement (flabergaster)

En effet, le manche est totalement parfait a l’exception du bord des frets qui écorchent les doigts légèrement mais ce petit détaille est très facilement remédiable. En fait il est tellement bien que j’hésite a installer le lock nut a propos si vous avez des suggestions j’apprécierais beaucoup vos commentaires.

Merci!

I like to neck

The satin poly finish on the back of the neck has the best feel of any neck. The back of the neck has a great shape of a gentle V near the nut and comfortably round and just the right amount of meat going up the neck. It is not too small and not too big. Frets are perfect med size and beautifully finished. The slotted nut needed no work. Amazing value for the money.

Good for the bucks!

The woods are really good. The craftwork is almost perfect, because the frets may need a finishing at the edge, to make the playing easier.

Nice Neck!

I would definitely buy this neck again although maybe not the compound radius. I had to try one though. I'm not feeling that great a difference in the compound radius and compared to the single radius neck it pretty much throws every action setup technique I've used previously out the window.

Great quality & beautiful wood, and the frets were perfectly level right out of the box although they would benefit from a little dressing up. But that should be expected from any pre-made neck. I've been wanting to carve my own neck from scratch but these necks make it difficult to justify especially at the price point. I've only bought one, but so far there's absolutely no reason for anyone to be dis-satisfied.

Maple Strat neck

Nice dense tight grained neck for my son's new guitar. Perfect fretting. Lovely feel. Good price. With Gotohs, The Golden Age wired pearloid pickguard is next for the Hank/Hendrix tone he's chasing. Thanks.

Great "bang for the $" neck !!

I got this neck for a Strat clone I was building. It arrived in near record time and the quality is above and beyond what I expected for the price.
The neck & f/b are both high quality woods, the neck even has a good amount of "flame" in the grain. The frets are finished to perfection and follow the compound radius f/b w/o flaw.
The trussrod is easy to adjust, and more functional than on many "factory" necks...it's also rattle free, which is VERY important.
I followed StewMacs "trade secrets" section on installing Strat necks, and it went on flawlessly.
It's settled in nicely requiring only 2 adjustments to reach perfect action.
This neck has allowed me to have an action on a "budget home build" that matches my American Deluxe Strat, so I can't complain in way.

Not as hoped

I was disappointed to find that this neck is a Mighty Mite item. For my current project (strat, maple fretboard), I had avoided purchasing a MM neck from amazon (for less money), because I had gotten a MM neck a year ago that has the same problems. I find the fret ends not finished well, the fretboard edges are sanded roughly (100grit?)and not shaped evenly along the length of the neck. In general, the necks surface seems to need sanding to a smoother grit before finishing, or at the very least, should have another layer of lacquer on it. I am a luthier myself, and to maintain my standards of quality I feel as if I should resand and refinish this brand new neck, and that was NOT part of my plan or budget for this project.
In the past I have ordered one of the Stewmac necks with the blank headstock lower edge, which was EXCELLENT quality, so much so that I had a hard time matching the quality of the finish after I cut and shaped the headstock edge.
In summary I wish these strat replacement necks were up to the quality of the blank headstock necks.
