Replacement Neck for Stratocaster
Northwest Guitars necks are made from hand selected, A grade North American Maple to ensure outstanding performance. Crafted for ultimate compatibility, our necks are prefect replacements for genuine Fender models, including MIA, MIM, MIJ & Squier. This makes our electric guitar necks great as an upgrade to your existing guitar, a replacement part, or as an addition to your latest brand new guitar build project
Standard Specs
To ensure easy installation and compatiblity we've made our necks with a 55.5mm (2 3/16”) wide curved heel, so you'll be sure of a nug fit in the neck pocket of your prized Strat!
We've installed pre-slotted, flat-bottom bone nuts as standard, so great tone is assured (we dont glue these in so they're easy to pop out and shape should you feel the need).
Our headstock shapes are reminiscent of classic guitar models, but are original to NWG.
The Northwest Guitars replacement Stratocaster neck, will give you the same performance and playability of the branded equivalent, at a fraction of the cost.

North American Maple
Our North American Maple is light-coloured hardwood, fine-textured and incredibly shock resistant. Maple is used as a neck wood by the majority of major guitar manufacturers because of its robust nature and its signature bright and snappy tone. At Northwest Guitars we only use the highest quality Maple for our guitar necks, ensuring you get a top quality product.
About us
We've been making guitar necks for many years now, and our Stratocaster neck is the go to for professional luthiers and hobbyist builders alike. Because they are manufactured in our own factory, we are able to keep costs relatively low, whilst still ensuring a top quality product. Everything is made by hand, offsetting the need for expensive CNC machinery, allowing us to pass on the saving to our customers.
Please Note:
We are unable to pre-drill the mounting holes into the back of the neck for you. This is because we cannot guarantee that the holes we drill will be a 100% match with those on your guitar body.
Drilling holes for guitar necks is quite simple to do, and you can find an easy to follow tutorial here.

Customer Reviews
Neck was delivered to central Ohio promptly and was packaged well, I eventually fitted to an old Mexi body my friend gave me and was a perfect fit. I strung some new 10's on it and after a few turns of the truss rod it's pretty great. Fretwork was perfect and level, rosewood is dark and consistent and it's just awesome. The fit and finish really shines through the feel and the profile is PERFECT! I wish all my guitars had this profile it's very comfortable C shape.
Do not hesitate to purchase a new neck or anything else for NW because I won't be!
Thank you NWG!
fits perfectly plays nicely
Excellent Quality, super fitting neck and very quick supply. I’m very impressed and you were recommended by a friend who was also very impressed with your company and your products.
The neck is great. The work needed is the nut. It is bone but it needs a little filing for strings to sit and not jump out. It looks plastic and mine was well stuck in. To the point it broke the wood were the nut sits in. So I put in an lsr one instead. The dot inlays on the side of the neck are very small can't see them on stage at all. The fretts were brilliant I didn't even need to frett dress. Feel and fixture again brilliant.
I've purchased 2 of these now and both I have had to drill the tuner holes to 10mm as they come up under and 10mm tuners won't fit.
With the 2nd neck, I purchased Fender AM pro staggered tuners...turns out the headstock is 3 to 4mm thicker than a Fender headstock, so the string holes are only just accessable.
