Replacement Neck for Strat Guitar

Just put one of these on my Line 6 James Tyler Variax (JTV-69B). I did not like the original neck on the JTV-69 (very tall frets and a chunkier neck). This is a Mighty-Might neck, but it's the bomb on this guitar. I also ordered Schaller Locking tuners from Stewmac. The neck had to be drilled to put it on the guitar, but anyone with decent skills can do this. The neck fit perfectly in the neck pocket of the JTV-69.

The Stewmac neck had a light satin finish and wonderful fretwork. The JTV-69 is now an awesome guitar! I've got great guitar modelling and great playability now, with this replacement neck (for under $200)!

when I first viewed the replacement necks I was alittle skeptic about ordering because I was trying to assemble a guitar from three different manufacturers. I bolted the neck up temporary, marked my spots to drill the anchor posts for my tremolo, which I also ordered from StewMac and proceeded to install tremolo.

I bolted the neck on to the body with my neck plate on, put strings on, adjusted my tremolo posts tuned the guitar and played a gig. the nut was already in place and the string grooves cut, I did not have to re-cut or fill the grooves, they play like I built the neck and then hand cut my nut grooves. GREAT JOB. Mike

I purchased and replacement neck for my custom swamp ash Im building, and it is fantastic. It came to the door very quickly, has a lovley satin finish on the back of the neck-after applying several coats of nitro to the fret board, it was ready to rock! Love Stew Mac

I just bought my fifth compound radius neck!!! That means I've replaced the Fender necks on my four Stratocasters and one Telecaster. The silky feel means no "stickiness" and the compound radius means no fret out even with a pretty low action. And they are a perfect fit to the bodies on all my guitars so fitting them was a piece of cake. I cannot speak highly enough of these necks. You really should try them out.

I had previously bought a maple neck from stewmac with the unfinished machine head and put it on an old Strat body I had. It worked ok but it was too thin and tonaly the guitar did not sound right. Then I saw this neck and I bought it. This was a home run! the neck fits in the hand because it is beefier and the guitar sounds 100% better! Sustain is vastly improved and the guitar sounds like a Strat again.

I purchased a maple compound radius for a project I did and when I took the finished guitar to my tech for final setup he could not believe how nice the neck was! I ended up liking the neck more than the one on my American deluxe. Funny how a guitar I built from spare parts with a good set of pickups has quickly replaced my other high end instruments. Thanks for a great product!!!

I acquired a new strat w/rosewood board 4 yrs ago. I prefer maple boards so i ordered your replacement neck the same day. Fretwork was excellent, soft "v" profile feels great. I've rolled the edges and this neck has now been through several bodies. It reminds me of the neck on a Fender Clapton Signature Strat i owned. It has held up really well, finish aging nicely. It is without a doubt the best playing neck I've used.

This is the 4th replacement StewMac neck I have purchased and used for my guitar building projects. This latest neck is for an active pre-amp outfitted strat. Fits perfectly with good clean action. I do augment the neck finish with antique maple finish for a more golden color.

Hey guys, I've used your stat necks and uncut headstock necks on a variety of customer guitars and have always had great results. Strong and straight and perfectly fretted.

In response to the review by Wilbury out of Russia, frets "sticking out" is common with all guitars, not a flaw. The weather in your part of Russia is probably less humid than where these were made. Things like electric heat sources will also help to dry out the wood in the neck, shrinking it slightly, and making the frets stick out so to speak. It's a common occurrence and a common repair for any workshop. I don't even think about it anymore, when a guitar comes in for a setup during the winter especially, I take a few minutes to do the fret ends.. (Using my trusty Stew-mac files)

Again, great products guys!

I was first very satisfied with this neck as it arrived. It looked and felt quite good, especially taking into account the price. But, unfortunately, after six months I noticed that all the frets began to stick out along the edges of the fretboard (quite painfully scratching fingers). I have to say that the neck was not exposed to any extreme conditions such as temperature changes or low humidity. The reason, I guess, might be that the neck and the frets 'set in' this way.

Also I surmise that the frets might have been installed without glue. Alas, in my particular case Mighty Mite is really poor quality. I wish I'd paid more but had a better quality product.
