I would think it would, but not entirely sure. There are some really good guitar people on this site that can help answer that question.

So you want to take the Soft V neck off a Classic 50's series Strat and put a Standard modern C neck onto it?

Hi MTH, welcome to the Forum.

In theory, Strat neck pockets are always built to standard dimensions so you should be able to switch necks between guitars without issues. (Many other manufacturers use the same dimensions too...)

Don't like that V-shape neck, huh? Or is it that you want the V on the modern instrument?

Cheers - C

the neck pockets should be the same on all strats so there should be no problems at all unless there is some strat history I have no knowledge of........... hehe :)

Oddly enough, I have actually done that switch. I put an rosewood American Standard neck onto a '57 reissue body. Fit perfectly for me.
