Fender Satin Roasted Maple Fat Telecaster Neck Rosewood U Shape

The Fender Satin Roasted Maple Fat Telecaster Neck is a serious upgrade for players who want a chunky, vintage-inspired feel with modern playability. Built in Fender’s Ensenada facility, this genuine replacement neck pairs an oversized U-shaped profile with a roasted maple construction and a dark rosewood fingerboard, giving you massive hand-filling comfort, enhanced sustain and a rich, articulate tone.

Designed for Fender and Squier by Fender Telecaster-style guitars, this neck is all about presence and stability. The deep U profile measures approximately .990" at both the 1st and 12th frets, making it the largest neck in the Fender replacement range and ideal if you prefer something substantial under your fretting hand. A satin urethane finish, rolled fingerboard edges and 22 medium jumbo frets keep things smooth and controllable, whether you are digging into big chords or bending notes high up the neck.

The roasted maple construction not only looks stunning with its darker hue, it is naturally more resistant to humidity changes, helping your guitar stay consistent from gig to gig and season to season. Combined with the rosewood fingerboard and a modern 9.5" radius, you get a comfortable, familiar feel that suits everything from classic rhythm work to fluid lead playing.

Finished off with a pre-slotted synthetic bone nut for excellent resonance and sustain, this neck brings together classic Fender character and modern reliability, giving you a powerful platform for a serious Tele build, restoration or upgrade.

Oversized U-Shaped Profile

This neck features a deep, oversized U-shaped profile measuring around .990" at both the 1st and 12th frets, offering a chunky, rounded feel with high shoulders. It is ideal for players with larger hands or anyone who prefers to anchor their thumb on the back or side of the neck, providing extra leverage for big bends and strong chord grips.

Roasted Maple Stability and Tone

Roasting the maple enhances its resistance to humidity shifts while subtly changing its tonal character. The result is a neck that feels more stable over time and offers increased sustain and a slightly richer, more complex voice, all wrapped up in a beautifully darkened aesthetic.

Rosewood Fingerboard with Modern Playability

The 9.5"-radius rosewood fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets strike a balance between vintage vibe and contemporary performance. You get smooth, choke-free bends and comfortable chord work across the entire neck, with rolled fingerboard edges adding a naturally broken-in feel straight out of the box.

Satin Urethane Finish and Pre-Slotted Nut

A silky satin urethane finish on the back of the neck keeps friction to a minimum, helping your hand glide effortlessly up and down the neck. The 1.650" width synthetic bone nut is pre-slotted for accurate string spacing and contributes to clear note definition, resonance and sustain.
