I hope one of you guys can help or refer me to some one who can. I have a Fender Strat plus bought for me as a gift back in 93, unfortunately it took a server bit of damage to the neck about 3 years ago, after paying for an expensive repair it still doesnt play like it should. Id like to know if there is any way I can get a replacement 93 neck or a custom Fender genuine neck for my 93 Strat plus. I really hope you can help me or put me in contact with someone one in UK Fender I can speak to. Id like to get my instrument back in its as genuine original state as possible to keep for my future generations to be passed on as such a great instrument should.
I can provide pictures or the serial number off the neck if that helps you at all.
Your hopefully
Burty

Difficult to know what to advise without a clearer description of the problem. When you say the neck was damaged, what kind of damage? What kind of repair? When you say it doesn't play well, is the action too high or too low? Buzzes and rattles?

There's a link at the top of the page labelled SUPPORT that might just be worth a click.

Hello sburty, welcome to the Forum.

In the case of damage outside the warranty period Fender will sell you a replacement neck on a like-for-like basis (contrary to popular opinion). What you have to do is go to an Authorised Fender Dealer who will oversee the process and carry out the work. There's a few hoops you have to jump through. For a detailed description, read this page:

If you have further enquires you can contact Fender in the UK at ukqueries@fender.com .

Cheers - C

Can you post some clear close up pics of the problem area ?
Difficult to guess ( for Us ) the extent of damage and wether or not there is a simpler solution ...

Hello and Welcome ....
