Analytical Ways to Choose The Correct Fender Stratocaster Neck

The Fender Stratocaster is the guitar neck we narrowed it down to. Glued on necks as in most Gibson Guitars and #2. Bolt On necks as in most Fender Guitars.

Bolt on necks are easier to replace and therefore more interesting to talk about. Fender Strats have bolt on necks.

Now we can get dirty deep into Strat neck(ology). Wide and deep for giant hands (SRV had giant hands), check out the boatneck. Ranging from narrow frets to huge super jumbo frets, which are my preference. I definitely prefer standard wire, which is actually the same material as guitar string wire over the softer stainless steel or gold color fret wire.
