Fender Satin Roasted Maple Fat Telecaster Neck Maple U Shape

The Fender Satin Roasted Maple Fat Telecaster Neck is a serious upgrade for players who want a huge, old-school feel with modern playability. Built in Fender’s Ensenada facility, this genuine replacement Tele neck pairs an oversized U-shaped profile with roasted maple construction, a satin finish and 22 medium jumbo frets, giving you a chunky, ultra-comfortable neck that enhances tone, sustain and stability.

With its deep, rounded shoulders and .990" depth at both the 1st and 12th frets, this is the largest neck profile in the Fender replacement range, ideal if you prefer something to really dig into. The roasted maple not only looks rich and dark, it is naturally more resistant to humidity shifts and adds a distinctive, lively character to your sound. Finished with rolled fingerboard edges, a smooth satin back and a modern 9.5" radius, it feels like a well-played favourite straight out of the box.

Fat U-Shape Feel

This neck features an oversized U-shaped profile measuring approximately .990" at both the 1st and 12th frets, delivering a substantial, chunky feel under the hand. The deep carve and high shoulders suit players with larger hands or anyone who prefers to anchor their thumb on the back or side of the neck, encouraging a relaxed, controlled grip that can improve vibrato, bends and overall playing comfort.

Roasted Maple Stability and Tone

Constructed from roasted maple, this neck benefits from enhanced resistance to humidity and temperature changes, helping it stay stable over time. The roasting process also brings out a richer, darker aesthetic while tightening up the wood’s structure, contributing to improved sustain and a distinctive tonal character that adds clarity and depth to your Telecaster.

Satin Finish and Rolled Edges

A satin urethane finish on the back of the neck provides a silky, non-sticky feel that lets your hand glide effortlessly up and down the fretboard. Combined with hand-rolled fingerboard edges, it delivers a naturally broken-in sensation, reducing fatigue during longer sessions and making complex chord shapes and position shifts feel more intuitive.

Modern Playability

The 9.5" fingerboard radius and 22 medium jumbo frets strike a balance between classic Fender feel and contemporary performance. This radius makes it easy to set up for comfortable action with choke-free bends, while the medium jumbo fretwire offers a confident, precise feel for both rhythm and lead work, supporting everything from subtle vibrato to wide, expressive bends.

• Oversized U-Shaped Profile - A deep, chunky U-shaped carve measuring around .990" at the 1st and 12th frets gives you maximum neck real estate and a solid, substantial feel, ideal for players with larger hands or those who like to really grip the neck.
• Roasted Maple Construction - Roasted maple offers increased resistance to humidity shifts and a rich, dark look, while enhancing sustain and adding a unique tonal flavour that helps your Tele cut through with clarity and presence.
• Satin Back with Rolled Edges - The satin urethane back finish and rolled fingerboard edges create a smooth, broken-in feel that reduces friction and hand fatigue, letting you move quickly and comfortably across the neck.
• 9.5" Radius with 22 Medium Jumbo Frets - A modern 9.5" fingerboard radius and 22 medium jumbo frets support low, comfortable action and clean, choke-free bends, giving you confident playability for both chords and lead lines.
