It has a fat neck, but evidently it is not as fat as the 1991. According to a former dealer I know, she says the 1991 is ridiculously fat and Fender felt that people wouldn't buy them with that neck so they started slimming down. I am sure there are guys on this board that can confirm or refute that story.

All JB Strats produced before 2001 (including the first year models) came with those huge baseball bat necks.

Fender didn't slim down the JB necks until that date.
