Pairing the chunky "U" profile of a 1951 Fender Nocaster with the chime of a 1960s Stratocaster has produced the longest-standing Music Zoo x Fender Custom Shop Exclusive: the NoNeck Stratocaster!

Watch our 2026 video detailing the NoNeck Stratocaster available at The Music Zoo

Watch our original 2010 video detailing the NoNeck Stratocaster with former Fender Custom Shop Manager Mike Eldred

Since first launched in 2010, the NoNeck Strat has been a beloved Music Zoo run with the Fender Custom Shop combining a '60s Stratocaster body and pickups with the neck profile of a 1951 'Nocaster' - arguably the chunkiest neck profile which Fender has ever produced. Despite the idea of a 'big neck' being for bigger hands, we find that most players who pick up a NoNeck Strat take to it quite quickly!

Watch now as Music Zoo staff member Jordan Usatch talks about the history and ideas behind the NoNeck Stratocaster as well as demoing a few licks and telling us about the customizable options when it comes to ordering your own Music Zoo NoNeck Strat!
