Hi there, i'm studing music porfessionally, and i'm about to buy an american vintage 57' strat but i'm not quite shure about the 7,25" radius and the "V" shape, is it soft enought to play? Thanks a lot.

Hi! Very good series '57 strats,but the decision is in Your "hand"! Good luck with their! Cheers!

Welcome to the forum! The 57 is a nice guitar but as far as the neck radius you need to make a effort to go to a shop and see just what shape and neck radius feels good to you specifically! Good luck and enjoy!

I'll assume it is a Soft V neck which is comfortble to play and smooth.
Cant say much about the radius however.

Heres a diagram showing neck profiles:
