Hi,

Would you know what the correct radius is for a 2012 Fender American Standard 60th Anniversary Commemorative Strat?

I think the radius at the nut is 10" and compounds to 12" at the 12th fret. I put a radius ruler on my guitar but can't tell whether it is 10" or 12." It is so close.

I found on Fender website that says some strats have 9.5” radius at the headstock end and a 14” radius at the body end; other compound-radius designs used by Fender include 7.25”-12” and 12”-16.”

Does anyone know? Thanks.

It is a 2014 Stratocaster, not a 2012

9.5 to 14"

Compound-radius fretboard delivers modern playing performance
In addition to its fast-playing modern-C-shaped neck, this Fender 60th Anniversary Commemorative Stratocaster offers you the extreme comfort and convenience of a compound radius fretboard. Down near the headstock, this fretboard offers you the standard 9.5" radius that makes fretting chords on a Strat so easy. But, as you ascend the 60th Anniversary Commemorative Stratocaster's 22 medium jumbo frets, this surface flattens out to 14", providing you with ample room for bends and plenty of space to make fast solo runs come off as cleanly as possible.

I'm talking about fretboard radius and I think mine is compound 10"-12" from nut to bottom fret.
