Roasted Maple for Increased Stability
This American Professional II Roasted Maple Telecaster neck is your ideal neck replacement solution for improved playability and a sharp look. Built from roasted maple with a matching roasted maple fingerboard, the deep "C"-shaped neck profile brings classic Telecaster comfort and playability that you can trust because it was built in the same facility as Fender’s U.S.-made instruments. Sweetwater guitarists find that this model’s unique rolled fingerboard edges provide extra back-of-neck contact space, which means more fretboard access and less strain.
Note: Every neck and guitar is different, and a final setup, including filing the nut slots and a final fret leveling, may be required after installation on your guitar. Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer if you have any questions about upgrading or replacing the neck on your Fender guitar or bass.
Roasted maple neck and fingerboard
What’s so special about roasted maple? In comparison to a standard maple neck, a roasted maple neck’s lower moisture content is said to increase structural stability. This results in greater resistance to changes in environment, ensuring that your neck relief and overall setup remain solid for much longer than with a standard maple neck. Finally, roasted maple’s dark amber hue imparts an elegant edge to any instrument’s aesthetics.
Built for performance
The American Professional II Telecaster Roasted Maple Neck’s deep “C” shape is a benchmark for high-performance playability, providing the sleek, fast performance of a standard “C” profile, with just a touch of added heft. Moreover, the flat 9.5-inch radius and narrow tall frets are an excellent choice for players who favor modern playability and effortless bending up and down the fingerboard.
