Any experience with Fender Licensed Allparts necks?? Specifically the all Rosewood one??
Not the all rosewood but I've got a tele with the TRO Fat neck and it's lovely. Once the frets were sorted and it was finished in nitro it feels as nice as any other neck I've got.

Sweet!
I have never played/even heard an all Rosewood neck before. Always been super curious.
I've never tried one either, they look damn cool though.

They do. That Tele George Harrison played comes to mind. But I think that was a Rosewood Body, too, no?

Yes, I think the body was two layers of rosewood with a thin layer of maple in between. Supposedly very heavy, and George only had it for a short time before he gave it away so it probably wasn't all that great...at least in his opinion.

These are high quality items but require the final sanding and fret dress . They are made by a company that has produced necks and bodies for Fender Japan . The price is good for what you are getting. By final I mean the detail work that most don’t do. You can produce results easily up the that of Fender custom shop using them but options are limited. Never buy one with finish because it prevents you from adding the detail that makes all the difference. I use them from time to time if the specs are right for a customer.Any experience with Fender Licensed Allparts necks?? Specifically the all Rosewood one??
This is one I used,
You can really get high end results using these but you can also end up with a Nash if you get a 4 year old to do the work.
Yes they and many use the same parts . Watch out for the 56mm heel it’s 1/2mm over size for a 2 3/16” standard Fender neck pocket. This is often lost in tolerances but you may need to account for it in the build.

And on the subject of the rosewood neck, yes it’s very good. Remember the made in Japan all rosewood Tele ? Same factory. You can get roasted and roasted quarter sawn ones too occasionally. They also sell as Hosco, exactly the same products but without branding.
