Roasted Maple Jazzmaster® Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, Gloss Finish, Block Inlays & Binding
This Jazzmaster®-style neck combines roasted maple (Roasted Maple) with a rosewood fingerboard, for an elegant vintage look and excellent stability.
Its styling is inspired by 1960s Jazzmaster models, with superb rectangular mother-of-pearl block inlays (Block Inlays) and binding that highlights the edges of the fingerboard.
The C profile, combined with a 9.5" radius, provides a comfortable feel, suitable for both chord playing and bends.
Special attention has been given to fret finishing: their ends are rounded and their cut is invisible along the sides of the fingerboard, for a smooth feel and neat finish.

Assembly Advice
This neck is designed for Jazzmaster®-style guitar projects with a 25,5" scale length.
Before installation, we recommend checking the body pocket dimensions and tuning machine compatibility. Minor adjustment of the heel or pocket may be required depending on the manufacturing tolerances of the different parts.
As with any new neck, truss rod and action adjustment, as well as possible nut slot adjustment, may be required for optimum playing comfort.
