I wanted to know how people adjust their Strats neck? Is it to Fender standards, straight, a little over concave, or a little over convex?

Me, I have been running mine a little over concave; this has been reducing string buzz allowing me to run low actions. Just wondering what people on the forum think about this.

If you do not know what, "a little over concave" means. It means the neck bows away from the strings, giving me more clearance from the frets without raising the actions.

Thanks for the read.

Dan erlewine says on his page that he likes a pure flat neck for tonal reasons. Stating 'theres no tone like a neck under tension.' So today i set one of the unholy trio as flat as i coud get it without going convex. I let you know my findings. My other guitars are set up pretty much to fender specs so i'm told.
