Just got another strat under warranty (bullet ht hss) because the previous one had a faulty neck.Plays better sounds better but it s heavy.I mean almost twice than the previous one.The first was feather light i mean you could act like Janick Gers you didn t know you had it on .This one is a guitar you feel you re wearing.Also the neck is somewhat fatter.Any ideas?

Do you have measures on those, or is this just based on feeling different?

Anyways, in general:
Fender (FMIC) isn't in the habit of listing product weights, and weight doesn't seem to be a definitive factor in the selection/build process. So, most models of a Strat can vary a lot in weight.
The only way past this is to check the weight before buying.

And the same applies to necks; there is a 'standard' version of a neck model shape, but individual tolerances due to worker/finisher/factory differences may vary.

I think Bullets are made in several places, so did the serial numbers tell those two guitars came from the same factory, or even same country?
