My classic players 60 s strat had an issue that the truss rod
was tight at the end, well took it to a fender support site,
told me the truss rod is at it's end and needs to be replaced.
Well luckily still under waranty.

So now it's a waiting game. I'm guessing it has to built. And may
take a few weeks or 8 wks


According to you it will be up to 8 weeks because you are using your warranty.

For me, I just take off the strings, remove the 4 neck screws and plate, take off old neck, put in new neck, replace the screws and plate, restring the guitar, then check the neck relief, and intonation. If I have all the parts, it can take 1 hour to 2 hours. No waiting.


hey man how many parts do you have?
any pickups your looking in getting rid of?


Right now the only spare parts I have around the house are the original parts to my guitars. 2 Pick guards, a 250K pot, a bridge single coil for a Highway 1, 2 sets of Fender/Ping tuners, a Fender basic neck plate, a "F" neck plate, some Dimarzio copper shielding, a set of Fender American String trees, and a bunch of those little Fender springs for the tremolo bar.

I am not looking to sell anything as I have these parts to restore my guitars should I wish to. As far as parts, I can order parts and have them in within a week before I start a project. E-bay and Warmoth are your friends for original or quality replacement parts. Just be careful with E-bay. LOL
