Hi Adrian: I presume we're talking about the possibly twisted neck on your new Strat?

If it is warped it is a defect and the company will replace it free of charge under guarantee - provided an Authorised Dealer verifies the fault. Time you familiarised yourself with this page:

http://www.fender.com/support/faqs.php#q7

There they are talking about selling aftermarket necks, but in your case since you say your guitar is within its warranty period you won't have to pay.

'Nother thing you may not know: even if you bought it over the internet you don't have to send it back where you got it from. You can take it to ANY Fender Approved Dealer for service under warranty.

Does that finally put your mind at ease?

Take that guitar to a Fender dealer and get it checked out. There's no fix for a warped neck you are going to get on a Forum...

Cheers - C

Unless it's a Fender warranty replacement as Ceri mentioned, you have to resort to the aftermarket to find Fender necks (that aren't attached to bodies).

I would have it looked at for a warranty service. If you end up getting a neck though its good to get a Warmoth neck. Look at the Warmoth Pro if you want to spend some, most run 250.00 to 550.00 each.

actually Fender do sell original replacement neck
for Stratocaster the types of replacement necks are
(1) Rosewood, C shape (like the '62 Strat)
(2) Maple neck, V shape (like the '57 Strat)

please check with your local Fender Authorised Dealer

I'm curious. If fender doesn't offer replacement necks, except for warranties, where are Ebay'ers getting new authentic Fender necks? Or are they just old necks taken off of guitars?

Hi, well the necks are new from new guitars, the bussiness of selling new fender parts is huge on ebay, they actually buy tons of new guitars and then sell the necks bodies pickguards bridges and everything a new fender comes with I actually think its kind of good :wink:
