AllpartsStratocaster Replacement Neck, One-Piece Maple

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built as a Stratocaster replacement neck, the SMO-21 combines an unfinished one-piece maple build with 21 vintage frets and a 7.25-inch fingerboard radius. It leaves the finishing work in your hands, so it suits projects where you want to choose the final treatment before installation. The neck is made in Japan and officially licensed by Fender. Expect natural variation in the maple grain from one neck to another.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stratocaster replacement projects where you want to apply your own finish before installation.
- Guitar builds requiring 21 vintage frets, a 7.25-inch radius, and a 25.5 scale length.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Projects that require a ready-finished neck with no finishing work before installation.
- Installations where fret leveling and polishing cannot be accommodated if needed.
