Description

This official Fender Esquire '50s Telecaster Maple Neck is the predecessor to the Telecaster and the very first solid body electric guitar offered by Fender. The Esquire neck features a U shaped profile for the substantial fret hand feel typical of the original instruments as well as period correct 7.25" fretboard radius and 21 vintage tall frets.

The neck has a gloss urethane finish on the front with a satin finish on the back for smooth playability, the bone nut is pre-slotted with 'pilot' string slots to make spacing a breeze when performing the final string slot filing, 9.1 mm tuner bushing holes are drilled on the headstock face for vintage Kluson style tuners with press fit bushings (some reaming of the hole may be required for a perfect press fit) and the slotted truss rod adjustment nut is at the heel. This replacement neck is the perfect way to give your Tele a classic 1951 style playing feel and fits Fender or Squier flat/square heel end telecaster guitars. Some fret levelling/dressing and polishing may be required and minor woodwork to fit the neck to the body.

Please note the photo displayed is an example image only and the wood grain and serial number will differ on the neck you receive.
