Very good option for experimenting
woochyna 22.08.2023
Bought the neck to put it on a Squier Stratocaster body and try a baritone rather than buying a full guitar that would set me back at least twice as much.

Materials and the finish are very good, as expected - nice maple, true bone nut, well finished frets. The slots for machine heads that I put on the headstock were perfectly placed so it was a matter of minutes to install.

So, why 4 stars in total? This neck defeated the main selling point of Fender guitars - they're made in such a way that you can easily change parts making them very suitable for different Frankenstein mods. Mine is Tom Delonge inspired - one pickup, fixed bridge no-thrills Strat, but it wasn't really easy to install the neck. See, the neck comes pre-drilled so it can fit into a body of a Strat or probably a Jazzmaster (6 holes per side to try and match the neck pocket and the neckplate), but the holes were not alligned to my Strat's body. So, I had to plug all the pre-drilled holes, wait for the glue to dry a day or two and then redrill the neck. It was nervewrecking to allign everything, but eventually the neck fitted the body perfectly - good angles and string allignment maintaining a very nice action and intonation.

If you know what you're doing, go for it, but if you dont - hire a luthier or somebody that's more experienced because drilling the neck multiple times until you make it can be an expensive mistake in the end.

On a personal note, I wasn't happy that the website only had the maple fretboard one, I'd much prefer the other, sporting darker wood as I hate when the lacquer wears off and dark spots start appearing on the maple... plus I can't oil the wood. But, this is only my personal gripe, doesn't lower the rating as the neck fits and plays really well.

Baritonifiziert
Mr. Timmothy 25.05.2022
Ich hab mir den Hals für ein Jazzmaster-Baritone Projekt geholt. Leider gibt es keinen Jazzmaster-Baritone Hals von Fender, da musste der Stratneck herhalten.

Verarbeitung ist wirklich hervorragend. Aber das habe ich bei einem Hals in der Preisklasse auch erwartet. Was mir nicht gefallen hat war die Qualität des Sattels. Da ich sowieso jeden Sattel gegen eine Graphtech tausche, war das weniger schlimm. Das Halsprofil is ein eher dickeres C, duennoch sehr komfortabel.

Den Hals habe ich an einen Squier Jazzmaster Body geschraubt. Der Einbau war einfach nur Plug n Play. Die Mensur sowie die Intonation passt.
Die Gitarre ist in Drop F# eingestellt und spielt sich einwandfrei. Selbst bei Temperaturschwankungen hält sie die Stimmung.

Fazit:
Ich kann den Hals nur empfehlen. Jeder der seine Fender/Squier baritonifizieren möchte ist hier richtig.
