This a 'V' shaped Rosewood fretboard neck for Strat. It has a beautiful feel, very soft, like satin. As good as any American Strat neck I ever played. I got it for a project but wound up keeping my maple one instead (mostly for the look on this particular Strat). I did drill 4 small holes to test it but they are SMALL! And no holes on the headstock. Can easily be re-drilled anywhere... This neck was played for maybe 5 minutes total.
