Crafted at Fender's Ensenada, Mexico, manufacturing facility, this genuine Fender Player Series Stratocaster® guitar neck features a comfortable "modern C" profile and 9.5"-radius maple or pau ferro fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets. The nut is pre-slotted with "pilot" string location grooves to make spacing a breeze when performing the final string slot filing, and a satin finish on the back offers smooth playability. For true Fender authenticity, it's also serialized and stamped, with genuine "Original Contour Body" headstock decal.
