Stefanogregori 3 Posted April 12, 2016 Hi all, Has anyone ever bought a brand new neck from Fender? I have Mexican one on order and wanted to know if it will come with holes pre-drilled? Fender customer service tell me it will but does anyone have personal experience? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twincam 95 Posted April 12, 2016 Can't be 100% but if your buying a finished neck it's just that all holes drilled, nut and finished in whatever lacquer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

luckydog 0 Posted April 13, 2016 The only genuine Fender neck I have experience of did not come pre-drilled, and this was quite a skilled operation to get the right gauge, depth and location when making the holes. I have a fantastic story about what I found when I took the old neck off, used as packing material in the body pocket, but that's for another day !
