vintage neck, made in EU, ST/JM style, all maple, large preshaped headstock, 7,25", 6230 fretwire

This one-piece maple neck is made in the EU (Czech Republic). High quality wood and frets and a perfect fit are prerequisites to a stable and perfectly playing guitar.

This neck is unfinished and only needs minimal sanding for finishing. It may need some minor adjustments to match it to the body you selected. The neck profile is an "oval C" shape but of course it’s possible to further shape the neck profile to your liking.

The 7,25” radius was mainly used up to 1980 and is still often used for current vintage reissues. Combined with vintage 6230 style frets the playing feel is very similar to a neck from the ‘50s or ‘60s.

The headstock features a large proprietary design shape. It allows you to use it as is, or easily adjust it to your own headstock design with minimal alterations or sanding/routing. While high quality frets have been installed a minor fret dress may be necessary. Since wood is a natural product there will be wood grain differences between necks of the same specifications.
