1953 Fender Precision Bass Neck – Original Pre-CBS Maple (Refinished, U-Shape, 1950s USA)
Up for sale is an original 1953 Fender Precision Bass neck, a genuine Pre-CBS Fullerton-made piece from the early golden era of Fender craftsmanship. This neck has been refinished, and while the original decal is no longer present, it retains all the essential early-’50s Fender features — including the clear factory date stamp “7-24-53”, visible on the heel.
Featuring a chunky U-shaped profile with 23.25mm thickness at the 1st fret, this neck delivers that unmistakable solid feel and resonance characteristic of early Precision Basses. The maple grain is beautifully figured, and the neck remains straight with a fully functional truss rod. Comes complete with the original ferrules, adding even more authenticity to this historic piece.
