Indeed sir!!!
:dood: :dood:

Gotta say, I was worried about the 7.25 radius but here is nothing about it that is negative. The tone is amazing in all positions, and the playability is fabulous. A keeper for sure.

Do you ever fret out on bends?

You can't fool me. That's not a Strat, its an SG.

Here's mine. It was a 2016 MIM arctic white. The body, bridge deck plate, springs and claw are still Fender. As you see it there is a Warmoth 24.75 conversion neck in Birdseye maple with a dark Rosewood fretboard. The fret markers glow in the dark. Pickups are Fralin. It has a master volume and tone as well as a blender pot. Sperzel tuners, well you get the idea.

You need a lefty amp too. Shame on these companies for not making them more widely available.

Nope, can't do it. That was the big question when it came out but there are no issues with that at all.

That seems to defy physics. Have you even given it a full whole step bend without issue? If so, I can add it to my wish list!

It's all in how the guitar is set up. It won't fret out if the action is high enough. If you want super low action, that's when you will have a problem.

I can bend up three notes with no fret out. Example from 12th fret E to F# easy and to G if I go hard. No fret out anywhere on the board.

Thank you sir. It was my first Strat after a 30 year hiatus from playing. Except for the body, it looks nothing like when I bought it. I put on a Warmoth classic 70's maple\maple neck, replaced the H/S/S with 3 Lace Gold Sensors and added locking tuners.

My favorite strat is a MIM, that I put a JBjr in the bridge, and a Hotrails in the neck
I do have a couple more, but this one is still my favorite.
Cheers

I can fret out that radius at a step and a half...

Yes, that's very likely true.

I never had a neck tighter than a 9.5.

What do you guys think David Gilmour's Number 1 Strat had?

Makes sense. I always keep my action as low as I can without fretting out, which becomes just sufficient, if not a tad too high for me, with a 9.5" radius.
