Allparts Select "50s U" Vintage Replacement Tele Neck AAA+ Roasted Flame Maple - Licensed by Fender

Allparts Select

Allparts “Select” represents the very best Allparts has to offer in terms of quality, features, and exclusivity.  Produced in limited batches using only the finest materials, our Select series replacement necks offer compelling combinations of highly desirable specifications and high-end appointments.     

What's AAA+?

Every unit with this designation is at least AAA grade flame maple, with many units actually exceeding the standard.  We inspect each unit post-production to make certain the finished product is worthy of our AAA guarantee.  

Why Roasted?

Roasting the wood enhances stability by reducing the moisture content down to around 7%.  The result is a more-resonant neck that’s stronger and less susceptible to changing weather conditions.  

Model Overview

Officially licensed by Fender® and made to exacting quality standards in Japan using AAA+ Roasted Flame Maple, this Allparts Select series “Vintage” replacement neck for Telecaster® pays homage to the golden era of electric guitar production.  Reminiscent of early Telecasters, this neck features a thick-U neck profile, 21 vintage narrow frets, and a 7.25” fretboard radius, offering players and enthusiasts a truly vintage feel and playing experience.   Truss rod adjustment at the heel and predrilled vintage 2-step tuner holes preserve the neck's classic aesthetics and functionality.  Finished with tinted nitro (over poly) to accentuate the visual qualities of the flamed maple, this neck offers a truly custom level of beauty, comfort, and stability.

Important Notes

• Wood grain varies from neck to neck.  Your neck may differ slightly from what is pictured.
• All necks have a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
• All necks may require fret leveling and polish.  This is normal and not a defect.
  
• Due to the lack of moisture in roasted maple, the risk for cracking is more apparent.  When drilling holes for screws, we recommend measuring inside and outside of the threads first to determine the correct drill bit to use.  Do not force screws into holes drilled with smaller drill bits.
