Well, I've been moving parts between my Partscasters and I needed one more rosewood neck. For a little variety, I decided to go with a large headstock for a change.. Checked on one of the online guitar parts recycler places and noticed a teeny bit of striping barely visible on one picture of a Roadhouse Strat neck.. I figured I'd take a chance it might be a nice one so I ordered it. Just installed it on my black MIM standard and here's what it looks like.. I'm pretty happy with it...

and what is its Radius and profile, V hard or soft, U, C, or what

Not sure yet how it feels -- gotta string it up tonight and try it out.. My first impression is that it might be a bit thinner than the neck on my MIM standard, which would suit me just fine.

The Roadhouse Strat necks are 22-fret, gloss finish on the headstock and back, modern C profile, 9.5" radius..
