I have a 98' American Std. Strat. I want a neck that has a 12" radius on it, with a different fret gauge. I'd like to keep this guitar, but I want to determine my options.

Can I buy replacement neck from Fender with these specs? Is it too expensive / impractical to have the neck modified? I know I don't want to
by a replacement neck from an after-market shop.
Do I just have to go the custom shop route and get a new strat?

Suggestions appreciated

Fender itself does not supply what you are looking for. Lord knows I spent 'years 'in this pursuit once. Suggest you check out Warmoth, or All-Parts. There is also a west coast venue which claims it is licensed by Fender. The name of this outfit escapes me but perhaps one of the 150K others out there may know.

You can get one from http://www.warmoth.com....if you don't find one in their showcase you can custom order from them. ...pretty good value too.
