Hi there,

I have a Standard Stratocaster MiM right now, but I want to change it to American Deluxe. The ideal for me would be a new version of Deluxe with compound fretboard radius. But unfortunately they are very rare on second hand market (ebay and such). So I was considering buying older Deluxe with 9,5" radius, but I'm worried if I'll be able to set the very low string action height (I'm playing legato much).

I have a 9,5" right now and frankly speaking I'm not especially satisfied with the string action height. But it's a MiM after all. Will American Deluxe quality allow much lower string action height than Mexican? Or it will be better to wait patiently and look for used 2010+ AmDlx with compound radius at ebay?

What do you consider low action? Fenders 4/64th's is fairly low. Any lower and the tone can suffer from string buzz on the wound strings.

Ideal string action height for me would be about 3/64 or bit lower at the treble side.
