About 3 weeks ago I bought myself a brand new telecaster. I missed my 52 custom shop tele with its massive U shape neck. So I picked up this 53 telecaster stating in the specs that it has a 52 U neck.

I have 2 other U shape guitars, my strat and a 51 custom shop precision bass. This 53 felt slimmer every time I grab it off my rack.

Checked the floor traveler and the neck specs are 52 style “U” then measurements of 0.90 to 0.99”. That more the size of a 10/56 V and that’s exactly what this neck feels like. No shoulder at all in the first 8 frets or so.

Anyway I’m now waiting on a reply back from fender. Even in the catalog I got with this guitar is says 52 style “U” at 0.99 to 0.99”.

Anyone ever send a guitar back for this concern? I know neck shapes vary but the hole reason I bought this one was because I wanted that baseball bat neck shape.

I bought this one because it’s supposed to have the same neck at the broadcaster.
