I love the feel of the Gilmour strat, but not the body weight of one I recently played. It got me to wondering...is there anything specific to the neck shape?

So I found the following information:

# Neck: one-piece maple, reissue C-shaped, .790" to .870" taper
# Fingerboard: Maple, 7.25" radius
# Frets: 21, vintage
# Scale Length: 25.5"
# Nut: 1.675"

Does that fit the description of the neck on any other strat?

The nut seems like it might be a custom width. It's my understanding that there have been 2 common nut widths for Strats; 1-5/8" & 1-11/16".

Those fractions work out to 1.625" & 1.6875".

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.
