No doubt. However....it's the modified neck profile on that '57VHR which interested me, and which I sold Niki on. His search was similar to the poster but for a "57RI.
I have a '59 Thinskin and a regular '57 RI and the necks are very different,the '59 has the thickest neck of any Strat I own...and that includes the '62 HR.

The '57RI may have the '57V which is a "C" profile neck found on the Gilmour. The '59 you speak of is likely closer to the 'D' profile...a la SRV.

Exactly,The neck is what drew me to the 59.I have a SRV and really like the neck,but wanted a 9.5 radius fret board.Enter th 59.It has all that .The white blonde ash body ,slab board and the 50s customshop pickups were the icing on the cake.
