Then there's this one:

FSR American Standard "V" Neck Strat guitar has all the bells and whistles of our classic American Standard guitar, including a trio of rich-sounding single-coil Custom Shop Fat ’50s pickups. But now, we've added a sturdy yet comfortable "soft V"-shaped neck, which features a compound-radius rosewood fingerboard (9.25"-14")

So many guitars, So little time!! :D

We've already suggested that the neck, save for the fingerboard is equivalent to the AmDlx V-neck.

Did not buy a neck quite yet, but did a roundabout....
After playing a black 50's road-worn mim Stratocaster 2 days ago, i returned to play it again, plugged into a little tweed 50's Champ and decided that for the time being, the road worn was going to give me a different perspective..... So it is back to working on the bodies and holding off for a few weeks until a neck I really like appears....

Oui....Bien sur.. !
I am not ready to buy a neck since I'm fairly undecided as to which profile... as much as I liked my 56 NOS, there were still some days where I could not get along with the neck... Weird since I was usually playing multiple guitars each session... A classical, 2 Larrivee acoustics and 3 different strats.....

Anyhow I do like the road worn 50's neck ( never mind what I may have said in the past about relics.. This one actually looks like it was overplayed :wink: ) it is a minimal adjustment from a C neck unlike the 56 NOS which always felt like grabbing a baseball bat.... For a moment..
Contradictory.... Absolutely.... But guitars do have similarities with Euro hot rods and women...
Reflection and patience are a required skill with all three.... :lol: :lol: :wink:

That 10/56, which was on the Fullerton prototype the CS feted not too long ago is, as you describe, in comparison to other necks in the line. The way the '50's Roadworn is 'finished', it's almost 'Claptonesque' in its feel. The end game is for the guitar to 'feel at home' when you're playing it.

Chromeface is our resident photojournalist and Clapton go-to guy.
