Experience the Future of Tuning with True Temperament S-Style Retrofit Necks

Elevate your performance with the most advanced guitar neck technology available. Designed specifically for classic S-style guitars, these premium retrofit necks feature the patented True Temperament Fretting System. Unlike standard straight frets, our curved stainless steel frets provide mathematically perfect intonation across the entire fingerboard, ensuring every chord and lead line sounds harmonically pure.

Handcrafted in Trollhättan, Sweden, these necks are engineered for professional musicians and recording artists who demand unparalleled tuning accuracy. Whether you are looking for a finished, "plug-and-play" upgrade or a customizable project, we offer two distinct paths:

  • Standard S-Neck: A fully finished, direct replacement neck featuring a classic C-profile, semigloss finish, and pre-drilled tuner holes. It is designed to fit industry-standard Fender® neck pockets without modification.

  • Paddle Headstock S-Neck: Designed for the custom builder, this variant features an unshaped headstock and no finish, allowing you to carve your own signature design while retaining the world-class True Temperament intonation.

Made to order. Current production lead time is 8 weeks from date of purchase.
