    Default What Mexican Fenders use the U Shape 7.25" radius 21 fret neck ?

    Other than the Mexican classic 70s Strat, does anyone know what other Mexican Fenders use the same spec neck ?

    I'm toying with the idea of buying a Classic 70s Strat to use until I can source a decent 'reasonably' priced original 70s Strat. However, no one in my area has a classic 70s to try out, so the next best thing is to find another Mexican Fender in the local stores with the same neck for a crude comparison.

    Classic 50s strat has a 7.25" radius - not sure about the U shape though...

    Pretty sure this has a soft V.
    Do zen blues fans try to imagine the sound of one hand Clapton?

    To be fair, a Mexican 70s job will almost certainly be better than a real 1970s Strat - I played a lot of 70s and my 1999 Classic was better than the lot. Mind you, it's also better than the 1958 and 1963 Strats I've played. Maybe I was lucky, but maybe not:

    And you'll need a crane and back support if it's like the one I have just re wired for a customer just under 11lbs ... I kid you not.
