Hey guys, I have a 2012 Strat Deluxe All maple neck. Its the modern C, and I need a fatter one, but I am a newbie on anything with these necks. I looked at warmoth for their Fatback and Boatneck Necks. Love those. I come from Les Paul background, and need a fat neck. Can someone help me with specs, etc...and what I need to order to get it right concerning fitting on my 2012 Deluxe. It has everything stock on it now. Locking tuners, etc...
I love everything on this, its just too thin. I need 1 inch minimum.

Neck Shape: Modern "C"
Scale Length: 25.5" (648 mm)
Fingerboard: Maple

Number of Frets: 22
Fret Size: Medium Jumbo
String Nut: Synthetic Bone
Nut Width: 1.685" (42.8 mm)

Thanks guys.

The older Jeff Beck Strats had the fattest necks Fender ever made. They came with a rosewood fretboard.

One of those huge baseball necks is fitted to Jeff's main stage guitar.

Same here
Seems the move is for smaller necks and V necks
Bought a Jimmy Vaughn, the neck was a killer, cramps etc
Fender should offer D necks on all strats

If playing with your thumb used for fretting, it doesn't matter as much what shape the neck is. The nut width and radius matters more to me. Both being small makes me hands hurt quickly.
So when everything else is equal, I'd go for a fatter neck for the extra mass.
Your mileage may vary.
