Description
The Fender 1951 Telecaster New Parts Neck is a vintage-style replacement neck built at Fender's Ensenada, Mexico facility and designed to bring authentic early-'50s feel to your Tele. It features the substantial 1951 "U" neck profile, which offers a thick, rounded grip that's great for players who prefer a more solid, old-school feel underhand. This is a great fit if you're building a vintage-inspired Tele or want to upgrade to a neck with more presence and sustain.
The neck is constructed from maple with a walnut stripe and topped with a 9.5" radius fingerboard and 21 Narrow Tall (6105) frets, offering a comfortable modern radius while still preserving classic Fender feel. It has black dot inlays, a gloss urethane finish for smooth playability, and a pre-slotted synthetic bone nut for easy setup. The vintage-style heel-adjust truss rod and slotted nut are in keeping with traditional specs, making this a functional and era-correct choice.
Mounting is 4-bolt with a vintage-style 2-screw tuner configuration, and it's ready to install on most Fender or licensed Tele-style bodies. Whether you're restoring an old build or creating a new one from the ground up, this neck delivers classic Fender craftsmanship with a playable twist.
