Fender Limited Edition Nitro American Standard Strat

This Fender FSR American Standard Strat is part of the 2010 "Ebony and Ivory" run, limited to 150 of each color, with distinctive features like a nitro cellulose finish, matching headstocks, vintage modified trems, and tinted necks with hand-rolled edges. Three Alnico Five single-coil American Stratocaster pickups deliver that classic sonic signature from the Fender FSR American Standard Strat, in conjunction with 5-way switching and a No-Load Delta-Tone system for the middle and bridge positions. Tuning stability and sustain are excellent thanks to the 2-point trem, bent steel saddles, and staggered tuning machines. Fender achieves a very comfortable, broken-in feel on the Fender FSR American Standard Strat by adding a satin-finish neck and 9.5" radius buffed fingerboard with hand-rolled edges.

can someone answer me if the 9.5" radius neck are fat, thin or middle?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@Dorillo76 - 9.5" radius doesn't refer to neck size, it refers to degree of fretboard curvature, with a higher number indicating a flatter fretboard. 9.5" is right in the middle. Regarding the neck, this one had a Modern "C" shape neck, which is right in the middle, fatness-wise. Hope that helps!

Is a neck with a larger fretboard radius physically bigger, or at least wider, than a neck with a smaller fretboard radius? For example would the neck on my Charvel (12"-16" compound radius) be physically bigger (not the thickness) than a Strat with a 7.25" radius fretboard?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@WoWintosh - You would find that a 12-16" radius fretboard ( on a Charvel or Ibanez, or something similar) would feel noticeably wider than a vintage Strat or Tele style fretboard.

[rgil1998]

I just got a very similar guitar and one of the pickups is very quiet. I am not sure if its supposed to be that way or if its faulty. It only seems normal when i have it plugged into the distortion pedal. Can someone PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
