Hi all I have a Mexican strat tag MZ6 serial
Maple neck. I absolutely love the neck and shape on it
So the question is . What rose wood neck would be
As close to this neck as possible .?? I also a a 2016
American standard RW neck . But way thinner .
Does anyone know what radius the mex maple neck would be?
Thanks
Dj

As Fender make many different Strats in Mexico, with a number of different necks, it is impossible to establish based on year alone. You really need to establish what the Series is that the neck is bolted too or take some measurements yourself.

By your comparison to an American standard I am guessing the MiM is is perhaps a 50's Classic, but that is just a guess.

The MZ6(+ 5 or 6 digits) serial only tells it's made in Mexico at about 2006-2007. To know the radius, one would need to know the model - I think MIM Strats came in all 'normal' radiuses at the time.
Contact Fender Consumer Relations with the full serial number, they should be able to tell the guitar model and specs. Then you can check if the same model was offered with a rosewood fretboard.

And BTW, the feel of a neck depends on many things, not the radius alone. Neck profile, fret size, finish etc. And even in two guitars of the same model, there are individual differences.
