I've been looking at the '62 Vintage strat, I'm thinking about maybe getting one around Christmas time, and I notice the radius is 7.25" which isn't a suprise. The suprise, to me at least, was when I was checking the specs on the Rory Gallagher strat the radius was 9.5" even though his was a '61 strat. Did he change the neck somewhere along the way or is it just 9.5" to accomodate modern players with 9.5" being better for bending than 7.25"? If anyone could shed some light on this that'd be great, and I'd appreciate it.

After many refrets the radius changes because of leveling.
Stevie Ray Vaughan's strat also has a flatter radius because of many
refrets.
