PSA-ebony compound Strat
Several years ago, needing a replacement for the neck on my 1995 Fender USA Roadhouse Strat, I ran across a sale on these, by Mighty-Mite...the one I got was a bit less than this deal at that time, but this is still a great deal if you're looking for a replacement. Compound radius 9.5"-12' ebony fretboard with MOP-oid dots.
One caveat is that the stock finish isn't the best, nor the nut; when I received mine I masked the ebony board, sanded down all the maple and shot it with nitrocellulose. The nut I discarded right away, as it was cheap plastic and poorly finished, and replaced it with a Tusg Trem-nut...easy to do since this neck has a flat nut slot and the pre-slotted nut needed very little slotting/finishing. I completed the job with Schaller locking tuners. With a little work I was very pleased with the results; if ebony does it for you as a playing surface, this price is far less than what one usually sees...mine even has a bit of bonus birds-eye figure in the maple, though YMMV. https://stratosphereparts.com/new-fe...eid=daf5f6184b

I keep thinking that I'll build a partscaster one of these days. This would be a good option for the fretboard as I LOVE ebony and am pretty meh on rosewood and maple fretboards.
