thanks man :) i'm loving them as well . the 40th anni is my first usa strat and apart from a good clean and a wee setup it's all good , very resonant and i'm not having any probs with the string spacing :) the mij 50s reis is another kettle of fish the old 50s shape neck was killing my fingers for some reason , i've hade to tune it to Eb to make it a bit more playable so it's now my hendrix strat and with the texas specials i fitted the other week and a new crl switch it's sounding great for it's new job :)

More rounded radiuses, like the 7.25 is tought to get used to. Action of the strings is higher that a 9.5 or 12. I actually have my frets dressed to be a 10" radius.

Real beauties Alan and certainly well looked after-that's good to see in this day and age of relicing and artificial aging.

Alan, nice color selection of strats! MIJ Strats are very well built and hold up well as evidenced by your three!
