Holy Crap!
This is a damn good product for 50 bucks. Much better than others with a name on the headstock. It has a very nice feel, zero fret sprout , smooth frets polished well, fit perfectly in the pocket of my tele build. I am very pleased with this product. If you’re on the fence about trying this , take the risk.I’ve been playing guitars and modding them for over 30 years now. I’m really into gear and have tried lots of stuff. For 50 bucks this is a tough one to beat. Vintage look, traditional tele look but with more modern appointments. Mine was rather chunky which I like and had either a 12 or 14 inch radius for the frets. Definitely flatter than your traditional 7.25 or 9.5. Comfortable feel and notes won’t fart out on you when bending. 22 frets even ! 10mm holes for tuners. I used a set of charvel tuners which fit perfectly .Cons… well it can’t all be perfect at this price. Luckily I didn’t have to do any fret work on mine but I will say the truss rod on mine was stiff as hell. Could barely get mine to turn . Thought it was gonna break but it finally moved. It came straight as an arrow but I wanted just a slight relief. It did the job so I’m not complaining here .There was some weird lines in the finish that almost look like scratches that were fixed up but upon closer look it might actually but the wood grain . You can see it in the pics I provided . The most visible is near 12th fret area . However, this being a flaw or not , doesn’t affect playing or feel of the neck whatsoever. Just looks a bit weird at first glance . Still give this 5 stars !

Amazing neck!
I just finished installing this neck on my partscaster, and I couldn’t be more pleased! This is a very high quality neck; unbelievable quality for $50! It is remarkably straight…as of now it doesn’t even need a truss rod adjustment. Frets are seated well and nicely polished; I only had to file 2 fret ends to get it perfectly smooth up and down the edges. The finish is a very nice gloss lacquer, and I only found a couple of flaws in it. Both are very small…I really had to look for them. An added plus is that it is a beautiful amber color that looks great on my black tele.It’s a relatively flat and thin neck, and feels very fast. I would compare it to my 90’s American strat.Overall, this is a great value that I’m really glad I took a chance on. It has turned a “meh” guitar into a great instrument. If you’re looking for a tele neck, I just don’t think you can do better than this.

Very nice... but...
Overall, I really love the neck after installing it and playing on it. There are a few issues I found right away.The good1. Very nice feel.2. The fret ends are smooth as butter.3. The shape and style looks real nice.4. The shape fits good in the hand.The bad1. The poly is uneven in some spots and should be expected at this price.2. The tuning key holes may be pre drilled to 10mm but the poly is so thick you cannot put the keys in without drilling out the holes again.3. The poly also was down in the truss rod hole making it near impossible to adjust the truss rod. (At this point, I'm not sure if I stripped the truss rod screw or not. I couldn't get it to budge.)4. At this time there is some fret buzzing because I can't add relief to the neck.5. The neck heel was actually smaller than the pocket on my Monoprice tele body and needed some sanding and a shim on one side.I would purchase another one, but right away I would know that it will need some work.I spent a few hours getting things right. I will still need to go back and adjust the truss rod once I receive the proper tool set.

Surprisingly good neck for the money!
I went into this not expecting much. I didn’t need it to play great, as it was just for a showpiece guitar, but they really surprised me with the quality on this neck. I’d say it’s definitely better than Squier qual, maybe even better than your average MIM neck. Medium weight. Smooth fret ends. Fairly modern profile. It plays great. It looks great.I did end up needing a shim, but I think that was because my neck pocket was cut just a little too big.Is it an amazing replacement neck? That’s hard to say. Depends on what you’re expecting. I’d say it’s great value for money.

Almost the real thing!
I build and repair different guitars as a hobby and have bought many different necks. Most necks in this price range are hit or miss for quality. This neck however…Straight with no warping, had a nice clear coat finish throughout, the fret ends were not sharp and appeared to be dressed. Overall a very nice replacement neck for a tele style guitar. Definitely worth the price and quality.

Almost usable
This was a pretty good looking neck. However, the fret ends were a little sharp and would tear into my skin. I would have overlooked that and filed them down, but the neck was poorly wrapped so it had a couple of dings one at the headstock and one right at the 22nd fret, which aesthetically ruined the look. So sadly, I had to send it back. fortunately I found another neck. My guess is if you want a $50 Tele neck you just have to try a bunch and hope one of them works!

Smooth
I haven't mounted it yet. Still waiting on the TL Body for my build project. The neck is Smooth. No rough edges, no rough fret ends. I checked it, it's level and straight. Decent quality wood, a nice amber tint. I love maple necks....One day, I'll build a " Gib" copy with a maple neck...probably LP.

Decent neck for the price, would buy again
I was really surprised at the quality of this neck at this price point.It's not perfect, there was some glue in the truss rod pocket I had to dig out. The hole wasn't a straight shot to the truss rod nut and took a little finagleing to get a tool in there. The truss rod hole binding is also cheap plastic and I heard a cracking sound when adjusting the truss rod.As others have said the finish is very nice but almost too thick.The frets were amazingly good, just a little jaggedness on the ends. I only had to do minimal spot leveling to get a buzz free set up. It fit the neck pocket on my old 1980's Fender Squire perfectly. The nut is cheap plastic, but I wasn't expecting anything else at this price.The photos show it after some relicing to match the old body I was using and neck i was replacing. it looks better new than shown in my pics.
