I have been trying to find a list of strats with 12 inch radius but have had a hard time finding much. I recently got a Classic Player 60s that I LOVE and my husband has fallen for it as well because it is just so darn comfortable to play. I may just get him another classic player 60s, but would like to know what else is out there with this radius to open up a few more color choices. Any suggestions from you kind folks?

The Eric Johnson Signature Strat features a 12-inch radius.

There may be others.

and the early 2006/07 custom pro you could add to that list. :D

If you don't mind spending a little extra to get what you want, you could buy any Strat that you like, then get a replacement neck from Warmouth. The one in my picture is birds eye maple, 12" radius, stainless steel frets, compensated nut, round '59 profile. I could never find that combo on a stock Strat.

SRV not mentioned yet...

Plus there are the compound radius AmDeluxes, 9.5"-14", worth checking out.

But since you already have a Strat, maybe consider some Teles - J5, Chris Shiflett, Richie Kotzen, Classic Series '72 models (at least) are 12".

Check out the Kenny Wayne Sheppard Strat. 12 inch radius on a thicker c shaped neck and a decent price.

Man that sweet Daphne Blue strat has a delicious neck, all the right specs for me too...Warmoth, that's an eye opener. What pickups did you use?

Unfortunately Fender Parts offer nothing near that in maple, just the too slim Modern C, and nothing over 9.5 radius, if we just want to swap out a neck.

That guitar has been a test lab for me. It currently has Fat 50's neck and middle, and a Pearly Gates in the bridge.

I believe the "Contemporary 22" MIJ Strats from the mid-late 80s have 12" radius, I happen to own one with a Kahler Spyder trem, great guitar, but doesn't feel the same after a recent refret.
