A "Corona, California" Neck Designed to Recreate the 1973 Sound and Look
Fender necks have evolved greatly over the decades, and that's exactly what the American Vintage II series celebrates: faithful specifications to historic models. Made in the USA at Fender's Corona, California factory, this Stratocaster neck adopts the distinctive 1973 codes: seventies-style "C" profile, large headstock, and 3-bolt design with Micro-Tilt. A perfect choice if you want to give your Strat a credible vintage identity, both visually and in playing feel.
Who Is It For and What For?
This replacement neck is designed for a Fender or Squier by Fender guitar. It targets guitarists seeking a true vintage touch (tight 7.25" radius), fans of 70s Strats, as well as technicians and mod enthusiasts who want an authentic base for a restoration or upgrade project. Like any replacement neck not originally mounted on a body, some luthiery work may be required (adjustments, frets, neck pocket, full setup).
Details Designed for Installation and Stability
The bone nut is pre-slotted with "pilot" notches to facilitate string spacing before final filing. The Bullet Style truss rod contributes to the 70s aesthetic and offers adjustment suited to a Strat from that era. Mechanical compatibility remains vintage-inspired, with a "70s Vintage-Style" 2-screw tuner configuration.
