10 best replacement guitar necks

Replacement guitar necks are components that can be used to replace the neck of an electric guitar. They fall under the category of Electric Guitar Parts, which is related to Guitar Bass Accessories, Instrument Accessories, and Musical Instruments.

Here are some important points to consider when it comes to replacement guitar necks:

  1. Compatibility: It's crucial to ensure that the replacement neck is compatible with the specific make and model of the electric guitar. Different guitars have varying neck pocket dimensions and scale lengths.

  2. Scale Length: The scale length of the replacement neck should match that of the original neck. This measurement determines the distance between the nut and the bridge and affects the guitar's overall feel and playability.

  3. Neck Profile: The neck profile refers to the shape of the back of the neck. Profiles can vary from slim and fast to chunky and substantial.Choosing a replacement neck with a similar profile to the original can help maintain the playability you're accustomed to.

  4. Fretboard Material: The material of the fretboard can affect the guitar's tone and feel. Common options include maple, rosewood, and ebony. Choose a replacement neck with a fretboard material that suits your preferences.

  5. Fret Size: Different necks may have frets of varying sizes. Consider whether you prefer jumbo, medium, or vintage-style frets and choose a replacement neck accordingly.

  6. Construction Material: Replacement guitar necks are often made of different types of wood, such as maple or mahogany. The choice of wood can influence the guitar's tone and resonance.

  7. Finish and Aesthetics: Consider the finish of the replacement neck and how it complements the overall look of the guitar. Some necks may have a glossy finish, while others may have a natural or satin finish.

  8. Truss Rod Adjustment: Many replacement necks come with a truss rod for adjusting neck relief. Ensure that the truss rod adjustment is accessible and compatible with your preferred playing style.

  9. Nut Compatibility: Check if the replacement neck is designed for a specific type of nut (e.g., locking nut, traditional nut). Compatibility with the existing hardware is crucial for proper installation.

  10. Installation: Installing a replacement neck may require some level of expertise. It's recommended to consult a professional guitar technician or luthier for proper installation to ensure a stable and playable setup.

  11. Budget and Quality: Replacement guitar necks come in a range of prices. Consider your budget and look for a neck that balances quality and affordability.

Remember that replacing a guitar neck is a significant modification, and it can have a noticeable impact on the instrument's playability and tone. Carefully selecting a replacement neck that matches your preferences and the specifications of your guitar is essential for achieving the desired results.

User questions & answers

Question: Will this neck fit on any Stratocaster body
Answer: Yes Wendy, the scale length is 24.75" - standard to Gibson Les Paul guitar. Very well made - I was impressed for the price. I would highly recommend that you still check with straight edge and fret rocker - as a standard practice, I do this with all new installed necks - my assumption is same as a newly fretted fingerboard.
Question: Is the neck width at the pocket
Answer: I have been using wintergreen oil, therapeutic grade most of time. Couple times I got the commercial grade. Really can't tell alot of difference. As I mix it with a lotion base, (which is thicker than regular lotion) .I use it for sore muscles, etc. Hope that helps. Been using it for years.
Question: What's the nut width on this neck
Answer: I have looked on my bottle but there is no expiration date. You may want to look online to see how long Neem oil can be stored.
Question: what is the thickness at the heel
Answer: No, it only kills lava that eats the leaves covered with the neem and soap mix.
