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.

More specifications:
Scale length 25-1/2" (647.70mm)
Width at nut 1-11/16" (42.86mm)
Width at 21st fret 2-3/16" (55.56mm)
Fretboard radius 9-1/2" (241.30mm)
Fretwire .045" high x .095" wide (1.14mm x 2.41mm)
Fret count 21
Approximate heel length 3-5/8" (92.07mm)

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.

Perfect fit

Ok - as has been stated in other reviews this is a Might Mite neck. Not sure why SMac fails to mention this in their product description, but they are clearly marked as such. Could it be that we could get these necks much cheaper elsewhere? I don't know.

That said - the neck fit perfectly in a Fender Esquire body. Drilled the holes, bolted it on, put on the tuners and strung it up. Needed no tweaks, no problem with the nut - easy. As I have found with Mighty Mite necks the fret ends needed a little more sanding, nothing bad though. Finish on the headstock shows some overspray but only in good light.

This is the thrid neck I've tried on this guitar and it is the one that is going to stay. As always SMac's service was great, just wish they'd be upfront about where they actually get these necks from - guess that's our job though.

Stew Mac is the best!!!

I've used two of the #5719 necks from Stew Mac and both jobs turned out A+. I highly recommend Stew Mac for all your guitar repair or custom needs!!!

Tele Neck

Have had two of these necks now, first one was great but a little disappointed with the last one. Slight damage to the heel, looked like it had been dropped on the inside corner, and the Maple had a pronounced grain pattern, a bit too gaudy for my liking. The nut was high on both, and needed some slot work to take 10's strings.

Brilliant service from Stew-Mac

Beautiful neck, perfectly finished. First one got lost in UK customs but a replacement was shipped out with no quibbles, by courier at no cost to me, as soon as available. Thanks again Karen.

Tele neck is outstanding

I've built two guitars with this Tele neck and both turned out great. There was a bit of fine-tuning required with the nut, but that should be expected if you want perfection.

Tele Neck

I bought a Tele neck back in '92 thru StewMac and it's still one of my best playing necks! No warping twisting or fret problems even thru many moves round the world! StewMac really does their home work on getting the best possible and hard to get items to supply everyone in need of it!! Thanks guys!! :) I would definitely recommend buying anything from the guys there!!

StewMac comes through again!

I needed a replacement neck for my project P-90 Esquire after purchasing a dud elsewhere. What a great neck. the finish is perfect and it plays awesome. It feels a little fatter than my other tele necks, which is my preference anyway. Would highly recommend!

very satisfied

The workmanship on the neck is excellent; the fretting on the maplewood neck is outstanding. I'm working on a Vaccaro body and the fit is excellent; nice mate.

Great neck

I didn't have to refinish it at all and it feels and plays well. I coupled this with their Tele semi-hollow body and some split-coil minihums.

Tele replacement neck

Is it possible to give a 4.85 star rating?
I usually build my own maple necks from scratch, and I'm very fussy. The fretting and shaping is perfect. A bit thinner and narrow-er than my spec's, but my names not 'Leo'.
When sealed; re-finished; & bolted to my custom bodies, these necks allowed me to turn around new projects faster than ever.
