OK, yet another option, MIM Standard Strat+ EMG SA kit= $700
($499.99) ($199.99)

Now how close is the C shaped neck to the soft V shaped on the 57 VHR ?
Both have the 9.5'' rad. Anyone?

The radius has to do with the fret board (flatness/curve). The "cut" has to do with the neck (back side). Regardless of how "close" either is to one another, it all comes down to personal taste...it is subjective.

The best advice is to get to a music store that has both types of necks..and spend some time with each. That is the only way to tell if you will be happy with it. Opinions are like ...well you know what they say..I am not comfortable with "V" cut necks...and I like an almost flat fret board 12'' to 14''. Yet others like a tighter radius, and swear by V cuts. My good friend has a 57 Mexi reissue and I like a lot about the guitar..but am not very comfortable playing it..some of my Squires actually feel better to my hands.

What I am saying is don't determine what is best for you by other opinions....the synergy between you and the guitar is a very personal thing..I know I can play a lot better on guitars I am comfortable with.

And even with all this said, if someone hands me a guitar and it plays like butter..I could not care less what the radius or cut is..I know what feels right by playing..not by specs. Usually set up and string gauge have more to do with this for me then cuts and radii.
