I like it, but see no real difference other than radius. I just don't feel a lot of change when I go fro 24.75 to 25.5...

I like it a lot better, but I have always exclusively played 24.75. I got a birdseye maple neck with the dark indian rosewood board and moonglow dots. Really nice necks.

That's where my current pictures are, so kind of a necessary evil.I do not have a cell @ all anymore..
Its a NO NEED...

I'm such a hack that the neck really makes no difference to me. They all seem the same usually. I do love the neck on my new Taylor T5z and the specs are very close to this Strat!

Warmoth 24.75 inch scale conversion neck. Let's you use Gibson scale on a Strat or Tele style guitar. Pretty inexpensive too.What kind of necks are they? Your pictures have made me very curious sir

I got mine unfinished. Did gloss nitro on the front of the headstock and matte on the back side. Boy does that stuff stink!
I've used several MusiKraft 24.75" Strat Conversion Necks. Excellent quality!!!!!
I have had excellent results with mightymite necks, and I don’t pay much attention to scale length, only the width of the neck at the nut, cannot play with a narrow neck, Hell I can barely play anyway!

My first guitar was a beat up '68 SG and never touched anything but Gibsons for 30 years. You get a little set in your ways after that. Like an idiot I gave that guitar to my brother. He has it hanging on a wall to worship. I paid $200 for it. I wonder what the pickups are worth today?
The first real guitar I bought in 79 was a strat, I did some horse trading to snag a 76 explorer, after selling them in 83 I didn’t get another quality guitar till 2 years ago, don’t get me wrong I put together some partscasters, and snagged a couple of really nice Epi’s but now I have the best of both!

My uncle gave me my first guitar a 1958 Gretsch Double Anniversary in 1972 when I was 12. I never learned to play so he took it back. He gave it to me again in 1979 when I was 19. I never learned to play.
He took it back in 1982 and traded it in for a Bass Guitar and Amp because he was in a gigging band and needed new gear...oh the regrets I have! Looked like this...
