The Secret to Strat Shredding? A Scalloped Fender Fingerboard!
This Fender American Professional II Stratocaster Neck is carved from maple and topped with a scalloped maple fingerboard that facilitates speed and technique — a winning solution for effortless bends, pull-offs, and tapping, too! Ambitious guitarists at Sweetwater reach for scalloped fingerboards because fingers only need to touch the strings for resonance, never the fingerboard itself, providing advanced ergonomics that preserve stamina and decrease strain. A deep "C"-shaped neck profile enhances comfort and playability, and quality is assured by top-notch craftsmanship at Fender’s California facility.
Note: This replacement part is intended for Stratocaster electric guitars built by Fender or Squier. Contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for questions regarding replacement neck compatibility.
