Please note that this Tele guitar neck comes completely fretted and with the nut slot already cut. However, the nut itself does not come with the neck and needs to be ordered separately. Neck mounting holes are not drilled. The frets appear gold because they are installed at the factory first and then the neck subsequently receives the tinted yellow lacquer which is why they appear gold in colour, as shown in the images. Once the neck has received a light fret level and polish, the lacquer will go and reveal the silver frets underneath.

The tuning machine holes are drilled to take vintage tuners such as our vintage Kluson tuners or similar. For contemporary tuners like Sperzel, Gotoh, Grover, the holes in the headstock will need to be widened to 10mm.

All necks require a final level, crown, and polish and may need to be fine-tuned to your instrument and playing preferences. Your new neck should be carefully inspected prior to installation and/or modification as necks are rendered non-returnable once altered. Due to the organic nature of wood each neck is considered unique and may have minor variations in grain or finish from those pictured. Armstrong Music does not sell what is commonly referred to as seconds or blems. Due to the volume of necks that we sell Armstrong Music does not hand-select necks based on appearance or weight. Armstrong Music neck heels are made to Fender USA dimensions and tolerance, this may not account for neck pocket shrinkage or expansion over time. Some neck pocket modification may be required.

Armstrong Music recommends that if you are not familiar with replacement neck installation that you contact a qualified luthier or repair shop.
