    Where to buy repro 69 neck for my vintage strat

    Hi, first time on this forum. I have a 73 Fender Strat, would like a 69 style neck for it. Who sells the best repro neck $300-$500 to match this guitar?

    Hi. Welcome to TFF.

    I've always had good experiences with Warmoth. www.warmoth.com.

    May I ask why you're replacing the neck? What do you hope to accomplish? Is there a problem with the current neck?
    s'all goof.

    I would like a fuller neck, and like the looks of a 69 style without the bullet truss rod. I was considering a custom shop neck for $650, but do not like the custom shop label on the back of the headstock.

    If you don't like the idea of a sticker on the back of the headstock then I doubt any repro company out there is going to have a neck you are going to like. Nobody that I know of makes a Fender-style neck w/the chrome "bullet" truss adjustment. I could be wrong but I've never seen one.
    Your best bet would be to get a reissue neck & have it refinished.
    Personally, I'd just live w/the sticker on the back.

    I don't see any on there w/the bullet-style truss adjustment.

    I think he doesn't want the bullet that's on his current neck.

    Warmoth - Vintage Modern as a CBS Style...best mix as the truss rod adjustment is at the headstock (NO bullet)....you can order exactly what you want online and if you do not get too wild on the options stay around 400 bucks...

    And by the way, get rid of the die cast bridge while you are at it - it will make the Strat sound way better....
