Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Fender combines an early-'50s-style thick U neck profile with a 9.5-inch fingerboard radius and 22 narrow-tall frets in this roasted maple Modified Esquire replacement neck. The one-piece construction carries satin urethane across the neck and a gloss-finished Esquire headstock. Its bone nut arrives with pilot spacing grooves, so final nut-slot filing remains part of installation. It is a serialized Fender replacement neck intended for a Fender or Squier by Fender guitar, with fitting and setup work potentially required.
