Fender American Professional II Scalloped Stratocaster Neck 22 Narrow Tall Frets 9.5" Radius Rosewood

A scalloped Strat neck built for a lighter touch and bigger bends

The Fender American Professional II Scalloped Stratocaster Neck is aimed at players who want a faster, more responsive feel under the fingers and are happy to lean into a more specialised setup to get it. Because the scalloped fingerboard removes contact with the wood between the frets, the feel is more direct and a bit more sensitive, which suits players who use a lighter touch and want bends, vibrato, tapping, and pull-offs to come off with less resistance.

The Deep C profile keeps the neck feeling substantial without getting cumbersome, while the 9.5" radius and 22 narrow tall frets give it a modern-enough playing feel for cleaner bends and quicker movement across the board. The satin Super Natural back finish should keep the neck feeling smooth in the hand, and the pre-slotted bone nut and Bi-Flex truss rod make it a strong starting point for a proper custom setup.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this neck suits players who want a Strat to feel faster, more expressive, and a bit more specialised than standard.
