Description

The Fender Satin Roasted Maple Fat Stratocaster Neck is a serious upgrade for players who want a huge, substantial feel under the hand and a richer, more resonant tone. Built in Fender’s Ensenada facility, it pairs a chunky oversized U-shaped roasted maple neck with a dark rosewood fingerboard, 22 medium jumbo frets and a smooth satin finish, giving you a premium playing experience on any compatible Fender or Squier Strat-style body.

Thanks to its roasted maple construction, this neck is more stable against humidity changes and offers enhanced sustain and a slightly sweeter, more complex voice. Combined with the modern 9.5 inch radius, medium jumbo frets and rolled fingerboard edges, it feels fast, comfortable and reassuringly solid, whether you are chording hard, bending big or digging into expressive vibrato.

Oversized U-shaped Profile

This neck features Fender’s largest replacement neck profile, measuring approximately 0.990 inch at both the 1st and 12th frets. The deep, chunky U shape with pronounced shoulders is ideal for players with larger hands or those who prefer to keep their thumb on the back or side of the neck. It encourages a relaxed, supportive grip that can reduce fatigue during long sets and gives your fretting hand a confident, anchored feel.

Roasted Maple Stability and Tone

The roasted maple construction is naturally more resistant to humidity and temperature shifts, helping the neck stay stable through seasonal changes and regular gigging. The roasting process also enhances sustain and imparts a distinctive tonal character, adding focus and depth to your Strat’s voice. Visually, the darker roasted grain gives your guitar a sophisticated, high-end look before you even play a note.

Comfortable Rosewood Fingerboard

A 9.5 inch radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets strikes a great balance between classic feel and modern playability. Chords feel natural and comfortable across the neck, while bends and vibrato stay smooth and choke-free higher up the board. Rolled fingerboard edges add to the comfort, giving the neck a familiar, played-in feel straight away.

Satin Finish and Pre-slotted Nut

The satin urethane finish on the back of the neck feels silky and fast, allowing your hand to glide effortlessly up and down the neck without sticking. A 1.650 inch width synthetic bone (melamine) nut comes pre-slotted for accurate string spacing, helping to deliver solid tuning stability, clear open strings and strong resonance once it has been professionally cut and installed.

Key Features

  • Oversized U-shaped Neck Profile – A deep, chunky U shape measuring around 0.990 inch at the 1st and 12th frets provides maximum grip and presence in the hand, ideal for players with larger hands or those who prefer a substantial, vintage-inspired feel.
  • Roasted Maple Construction – The roasted maple neck offers improved resistance to humidity changes, enhanced sustain and a distinctive tonal character, while the darker roasted look adds a premium aesthetic to your Strat.
  • 9.5 inch Radius Rosewood Fingerboard with 22 Medium Jumbo Frets – The modern 9.5 inch radius and medium jumbo frets make it easy to play fluid leads and wide bends without choking, while the rosewood board adds a smooth, familiar feel under the fingers.
  • Satin Urethane Finish and Pre-slotted Synthetic Bone Nut – A silky satin back finish promotes fast, friction-free movement along the neck, and the 1.650 inch width melamine nut is pre-slotted for proper string spacing, supporting clear tone and reliable performance once professionally fitted.
