Where Can I buy a Fender Stratocaster neck without the lacquer finish on the back? In UK

Allparts do lots, WDMusic, I think Axemaster sell some, though I'd beg and crawl toward @GSPBASSES and see if he has any spare one before I looked elsewhere

Just to clarify, are you looking for a Fender branded neck or a neck with a Fender Strat shaped headstock? Also, do want a rosewood or a maple fretboard? And a large (70s) or regular Strat headstock?

eBay have a few. Mighty Mite are licensed by the Fender boys and make great necks. Here's a couple... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mighty-Mite-Stratocaster-Neck-MM2929-Jumbo-Frets-Rosewood-Board-FENDER-Lic-07-/281892636162?hash=item41a21c4602:g:AUsAAOSwPgxVOKly http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mighty-Mite-Stratocaster-Maple-Neck-Compound-Radius-MM2902CR-FENDER-Lic-/281888871402?hash=item41a1e2d3ea:g:Tq0AAOSw~otWc81M Or if you really need to be 100% authentic... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Replacement-Stratocaster-Neck-Maple-Board-/262197844655?hash=item3d0c359aaf:g:akUAAOSwq5lTrGU5 Have a look around - my quick eBay search turned up loads of different options; from high to crap quality, mucho expensive to cheap as chips. Good luck and I hope you find something that suits...

I was after a Fender branded neck really. It's in rosewood and regular headstock although if it was large I wouldn't mind

I really like my Allparts Tele neck. They are Fender licensed so it looks 'right' and I'm sure you can out a decal on if you intend to finish it yourself.

Hey @Rayza1983 this one above is from the Fender Mexican factory if you're dead set on getting an authentic Fender built neck but tbh @jellybelly is bang on - an Allparts neck or a Mighty Mite neck (I posted some links in my earlier post) are licensed by Fender to make necks to fit Fender's guitars and bear that ever-so-famous headstock shape. Fender decals are available on eBay and easy to apply too and you'd save yourself a lot of cash. If you want a Fender neck for less there may be some secondhand ones showing up here or on eBay, Gumtree or FB. Luck is a big factor in this though! Warmoth are also licensed by Fender and make INCREDIBLE necks (expensive) but they offer a greater variety of profiles/radii (radiuses?) - compound and regular- and can build to order too. There's many choices ahead of you amigo. And again, I hope you end up with something you're chuffed to bits with.

I'm probably going to be parting with a Made in Mexico Strat neck with a rosewood board - and a previous owner has flatted off the lacquer on the back of the neck so it feels really slinky.

It's a 9.5 rad, drilled for Klusons (sorry I don't have them) and needs nothing imho (other than the machine heads).
