Mango Fender® Arce Torrefactado Stratocaster - Pau Ferro, 9,5", 21 trastes

A truly fantastic neck. I've wanted a roasted maple neck for a long time, and I was not disappointed. Super smooth to the touch, great resonator, looks absolutely killer. The frets were not sharp, all well scored. The neck has the right curvature and from the technical side it is really very good, you can't complain about anything. Of course, the nut is completely useless if you want to play the one attached to the neck, but I think this goes without saying. It's the same with all Fender necks, I expected it and don't consider it a minus.
I had some doubts about the pau ferro, because many pau ferro fingerboards in Fender guitars were not to my liking.
However, it seems that for this series they only choose a pau ferro with a particular look, which always looks similar to this one, from stock photos. Mine even look nicer. They all have vibrant, contrasting colors and elongated shapes. It looks really beautiful. With my matte black stratocaster body made of swamp ash, with the wood grain visible, it looks amazing.
