The flattest Fender necks are (AFAIK) the Jim Root models (the Strat with a 14"-16" compound radius, the Tele 12"); then there are the Richie Kotzen Tele (12") and the American Elite Series (9.5" - 14" compound). On the Squier department, Jim Root and J5 Teles both have a 12" radius. And so on...

Actually, why don't you check the product pages yourself?
BTW, it's shredding... :lol:

Forget radius.
You need a good vacuum cleaner and regular brushing.

Yea, one letter changes everything between shedding and shredding. :wink:

I need to learn to type better with accurately. My speed typing is bad but my guitar playing is good. I just need a neck that great for fast playing from fender.

You might want to brush up on your grammar as well......

Wow, we come off as a pack of condescending jerks sometimes, don't we?

2 things to remember about this forum:

1. It's INTERNATIONAL, so some users are not speaking (or typing) their native language

2. Sometimes KIDS start learning to play guitar before they've finished learning grammar at school

Sounds like you need a different radius keyboard...

Anyhow, what's fast for one person isn't necessarily fast for another. Some play faster with a flatter neck, some with a satin backed neck, some with jumbo frets, some with a scalloped fretboard, and some with a different scale length.
A lower radius allows for lower action, which can increase speed for some. But no Fender guitars are all that flat. A compound radius Fender guitar will give you 14" at the body end, which is good enough for most. But you need to try it out, as in physically. There's no telling whether that will be faster for you.

I find the best necks for shedding, are necks with a lot of hair or fur. :mrgreen:

I've seen players shred on various fretboards. I guess it depends on your skill level.

And playing style. A claw hand and flat fingers have very different requirements.

Rick Graham plays a Strat on several of his YT vids. He makes shredding on a Strat look effortless.
