Hello all. Is the Modern C neck on American Standard Strats and Teles the same? The ones Ive tried, the Tele Modern C necks were bigger, fuller. I know every neck is different so it may just have been the ones I tired. But in GENERAL. are the necks the same on the Strat and Tele? Thanks

Hi vangit. I will guess that they are different.

I've long suspected they might be ever so slightly different but to be perfectly honest if there is a difference it must be small. They both just feel like Fender necks to me. That is, they feel natural and normal. The thing I notice most about modern C necks is that I don't notice anything at all. I don't play one and think to myself, "Oh, this neck is thin/thick" or "this neck is wide/skinny"or "this neck is flat/curvy". It's just neutral. It fits. I can switch back and forth between Strats and Teles and the only thing I notice is the the feel and balance of the bodies. Whatever difference there might be, if any, is overshadowed by the bodies in my experience.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

With the hand finishing, done by different individuals at different times, fluctuations are a given, from slight to perceptible, even among the same models.

My US tele and US strat both have "Modern C" shaped necks and to me they seem exactly the same. The only slight difference that I've noticed is the different fret sizes....the tele has medium-jumbo frets while my strat has jumbo frets but even that would be hard to tell unless you were told or an expert.
