Genuine Fender Road Worn Telecaster Deluxe Neck, 21 Medium Jumbo Frets, Maple

Genuine Fender Road Worn Telecaster Neck, 21 Medium Jumbo Frets, Maple
Manufacturers Part Number: 099-9712-921

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.

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ NOTICE BELOW CAREFULLY: 

All necks require a minor level and polish and may need to be fine-tuned for your instrument. This is perfectly normal and not a defect. Because of the variety of set up preferences out there, we leave that to you. 

All necks should be carefully inspected prior to installation and/or modification as the neck is rendered non-returnable once altered. All wood is considered unique with individual growth patterns. Some necks may have minor grain variations due to the organic nature of wood. These are not seconds or "blems". Please contact customer service if you have any questions or concerns about your neck when it arrives. We cannot guarantee exact neck pocket fit due to varying manufacturer tolerances, wood shrinkage or expansion over time etc. Some neck pocket modification may be required. 

We recommend that if you are not familiar with the proper steps to replace a guitar or bass neck that you should contact a professional for assistance.
